If no one owns the water, then why should Nestle have to pay anything for it? Also, you’re welcome to go benefit from free natural ‘running water’ all you want..

The most you could get is a temporary contractual job to build the plant. After that, what they paid for (the machine) eventually negates the expenses put into building it. Maintenance is probably more sturdy.
Howard Key I worked for Ice Mountain briefly. One machine bottles 1,200 bottles a minute. And now they pump even more water. That sure as hell cant be done in that quantity manually. 200 some employees so Yes their 99% machine run.

@@Davido50 best wayer comes from pacific northwest. Seattle surrounding areas has the best natural waters ive experinced. I have been almost everywhere on the globe.
Dude is right. I remember having a $100 water bill and I'm sure the usage for that month didn't add up to 1% of what Nestle is pumping in a minute. And all they get charged is a few hundred dollars. Crazy talk. Vote them out.
So each well sucks about 200 - 300 million gallons of water annually if my math is right, and according to the video Nestle is operating 9 wells in that area, so that is about 1.8 to 2.7 BILLION gallons of water out of the ground annually. feels like you don't need a degree to understand it's bad for the environment to suck that much water from that small of an area.
The 400 gallons per minute is for the plant, not each individual well. So the total extraction is 210,000,000 gallons per year. To put that in perspective - per the video, the wells are spread out over Mecosta county (571 sq miles) and Osceola county (573 sq miles). Average rainfall in the area is 32.7" per year. So the amount of rain that falls in the area annually is 649,660,000,000 gallons. 210 million is 0.03% of that - granted this percentage is averaged over the entire two counties, and is likely higher in the vicinity of the wells (let's be generous and say 1%). Of course, I don't have a degree in this, so I can't say for sure how bad taking 1% of the water out of an ecosystem really is.
degnaw So you are saying all those changes in the environment of the area are not caused by the wells of Nestle? that might be true but there is no way to prove that, and the mere fact that DEQ uses the data from Nestle to grand them the permit instead of an independent third party source just screams government corruption to me.
Neal Golden I'm not saying that per se. Nestle might indeed be contributing to the problem by taking that 1%, but it's impossible to say without (as you suggest) an independent third party collecting the data.
You simply cannont say if it's bad based on what they pump out. You need to know the groundwater flow and put this against the numbers you listed above. Then you can say it's bad. I'm not trying to defend nestle here but saying its bad without any background information is not good.
That lady for Nestle instantly regretted doing the interview. She went in with fake facts and had nothing to counter argue. If this was a debate competition, she would be the first one out the door.
Alexander who cares. She makes a shit ton. At the end of the day if you work for McDonalds, Walmart , or Nestlé there will always be someone who thinks you're working for a corrupt, evil company.

I live in Stanwood michigan. Since the plant has been built and taking the water, it has actually dried up a well in the yard so we had to have the well moved. Also the pond we have in the front yard has become stagnant with barely a trickle in the summers. Whereas when I was a boy, I uses to fish outta that pond and watch my grandmother feed the catfish, you would see them coming by the hundreds to the surface of the water. Now it's just stagnant with algae. Not lives in it but frogs and snakes and turtles
I thought the people were supposed to own our land and our water under capitalism but instead they take our shit and sell it back to us. Usually not the last part though.
Spice Weasel the comment is about how the water isn’t actually found on a ice mountain but in a well in the middle of a field. There was nothing to do with plastic...
well I normally Buy Deer Park water but from what I understand this is also maybe like a sub company of nestle so what I really am interested in doing after this documentary, is finding out what companies or brands are all affiliated with Nestle, and then I choose to not buy any of those.
Guessing by the city manager's reaction to when she asked if Nestle bought the town, his response really sais it all. This is such an eye opening video.
They generate $313k for the city and he claims that its "significant" for the city? Maybe it is and I dont know enough about city budgets, but it doesnt seem that significant to me. My HOA's reserves fluctuate that much in a single year. Thats one development and were talking about an entire city.
Being in a HOA, I would assume you (and your neighbors) aren't under the poverty line. It said the majority of the city is. So I would think there's a big difference where you live and where they live, and how significant that amount of money is.
What does it matter that the ppl are in poverty, they are never gonna split the money over the residents. The money goes to infrastructure for the residents.
For a small rural town, it creates a lot of slush money so the local gov't always gives positive PR! Nestle has bought most every major name of water and its bottling source in the USA. Nestle is a power house conglomerate of dominance byying everything from major pet food companies to water. When America wakes up after this globalization craze, we will realize we have been swallowed whole and baited our own hook.
Not in the US. If you are making less than 50k, your salary is mediocre at best (and that's in a cheap area). 33k is poverty in many (possibly most) urban areas.
Actually if you listened, they told you exactly what it is. $3.50 per 1,000 gallons, at 5,000 gallons per minute, there is 1440 minutes per day. If you can do simple math you can get the numbers... That town is making alot of money!!!!
Make sure you guys watch til the end to see my interview with Nestle :) Hope you enjoyed this season of Direct From looking at water issues around the world!
Flint Michigan residents have still NOT received compensation for the water crisis of 2014. Supposedly a $600 million settlement was approved but residents to this day have received nothing!

Interested to find out more about what some people are able to do in entrepreneurship in the community? Listen to latest Stories Worth Telling where we hear from an owner of a marina and the importance of water. ua-cam.com/video/4Ky4cZqVv5E/v-deo.html
Wild idea: how about, instead of buying a new disposable water bottle from a multinational company every time you're thirsty, then just bring a water bottle of your own, and fill it up with regular tap water? You'll save on plastic production, CO2 emissions and money?
Simon Wismann another wild idea, do you know that most countries in Africa and Asia don't have access to pure distilled tap water ? Not saying that you're idea is bad, just saying if we don't help the poor countries to having tap water, it's pretty much useless to write that comment since Nestle sells bottled water mostly to those region who can't get access to pure distilled tap water
I have been to countries where you are not supposed to drink the tap water. But this video is about the US. It seems silly to me if you are in a position where you can drink the water from taps to start buying water. There was a company here in Denmark that wanted to sell bottled water along primary schoolers milk. But discussion made it not happen eventually. When people buy water from Nestle like this, you are obviously not paying for the water. You are paying for the delivery, the water bottling plants, the plastic and indeed the advertisement telling you bottled water is better then tap. Sorry about the long string of frustration. But I need some procrastinating.
"I just looked at the numbers, and we generated 313,000 dollars." *moment of awkward silence* "That's actually not that much." "Of course it- wait, what?"
“It’s a lot because you’re poor” Saw this comment and thought it was accurate lol but when I hear about how much middle class spends in my area it’s actually not that much.

At 11:01 the man puts it in a way thats insane to think about. Nestle is paying basically nothing for billions of gallons of water where as the people pay alot for their water bills!! That pi$ses me off and I don't even live there.
I live in the UK, in a country where tap water is completely safe to drink. If you also live there, you know that there's an ever increasing demand for bottled water despite the many alternatives.I understand filtered water solutions such as a Brita can do the job, however you would be impressed by the amount of my friends who still prefer bottled water! And usually those are immigrants or expats who lived in countries where tap water is not safe! They say bottled water is "safer, you know exactly the mineral composition of the water each time, and so it has a great taste". Filtered water should technically enhance the flavor, but it does not recreate premium bottled water, such as Evian or Volvic. Full disclaimer: I do not work for this company. Since I live in London, I came across this startup called "Sküma" claiming to recreate and miniaturize the bottled water process, at home from your tap! This seemed interesting since it limits plastic waste and recreates the same purity, mineral composition and taste as other bottled water. Being an expat myself, I can see this being a viable long-term solution for people with similar background or tap water concerns.
I live in Canada and I use a Brita but I have never changed the filter. When I bought it I never saw a difference and it’s $$ for what it does. I always end up drinking from the tap or bottles. I’m really curious about this product. Do you know if they deliver in Canada?
@@mraspire2222 Yes that's one! It looks like they still have not launched yet. Anyways, I have signed up to their waitlist. Will try to give you an update in a future date.
So true... and Nestle tries to cover this up with their supposed charity. For example, they have (not sure if they do anymore) consistently sent thousands of bottles of water to Flint, Michigan each day. This may seem like a good thing but when you look at Flint’s population and water needs, that is less than a bottle per person. Nestle is fake and lying to everyone to try and make money off of a free resource that everyone should have
Kuhrizma Clemons that is also very true. Many people are just too greedy. They don’t care about ethics or improving people’s lives. All they care about is making as much money as possible. Greed is what makes capitalism bad.
@@tylerdavidson2400 I dont know what kind of things nestle sells in the US but here in Greece they sell the best cereal , they dont own (yet) any water bottling companies , they also sell stuff like baking ingredients etc. but i guess its not that hard just to switch to another brand of bottled water . Thanks for letting me know.
This guy just said that they charge Nestle $3.50/1000 gal. They pump 500 gal a minute. Quick mafs: At $1/gal Nestle brings in $30K an hour and pays out $105 for that same hour. Lmao how can I get in on this deal?

High key I buy this water all the time to. Nestle or dasani, Michigan water sure does taste clean
Is everyone blind? This is more or less an issue because your governments don't care. If I was in Nestle's position I would do the exact same thing. Yeah im sure they spend millions on lobbying, but look at the underlying cause: your government. They even said it on the video, Nestle is taking advantage of relaxed legislation. I am by no means advocation environmental degredation but look at the facts.
I disagree, if it's a company run by human beings then should be concerned about what happens to a populace if they do certain things to it. And you can't just say that lobbying and company-enabled reseearch is just something every company does, that's not good. Those are amoral things to do, especially on a scale like this.

See, that, I think is on the buyer. If you're stupid enough to buy bottled water, then that's on you. But yeah, taking chunks of a lake out of a state without paying for it-- that I have a problem with.
That shouldn't be illegal. What should be is what the politicians and bureaucracy did. If virtually all your constituents said no and you did it anyway, democracy failed.
If they can pull this shit off in America , just take a minute to think about what they could do to the rest of the world. Its a really shady company .

Boycotting nestle won’t help, especially for the people that depend on them for jobs. Holding them accountable for these destructive practices WILL help. They need to find new ways to make profit that aren’t destructive to the environment or the livelihoods of people that use the free, clean resources of the environment. They also need to either send more of that profit down the line to the lower level workers, who need it desperately, or contribute more of that profit back into charity organizations or free constructive services that help the general population. They do that now, a little, but they could be doing more... a lot more
I know they keep saying it's only $200 they pay what they have to have a lot of equipment processing plants and millions of dollars with equipment to put the water out And they're putting people to work don't forget that

3:22 the upper "watermarking" it is the mark left by the concrete formwork not by a previous water level. As much as I enjoy this kind of reporting, I think we must be rigorous
Yes that is from the construction, also I live right next to a river that size, the water levels go up and down depending on the time of year and how much it has rained, and every few years if floods and the river changes form slightly, I think these people are way over estimating the effects of pumping 250 gallons a min from a well, that's nothing compared to how much water is flowing down that river, if you pumped 250gpm into that river you wouldn't notice a difference in height, i'm sorry but the stuff these people are saying is just ridiculous, i'm not trying to pick a side.

Bottled water has microscopic plastic particulates in it. I will only buy a bottle of water when I'm desperate. Otherwise I just use tap with a brita filter. But eventually I ll get a berkey water filter. I cannot support that particular industry.
Your metal water bottle has some kind of a gasket that is poisoning you with plastic. Brita is licensed and distributed by Clorox in the USA. So you're giving money to an evil corporation that produces cleaning supplies and plastic bags (they own Glad). Clowns.
Willie Jenkins Oh wow Willie, you're so smart. But yet gaskets are typically rubber and they get little exposure. And my brita doesn't cost nearly as much money as compared to buying water bottles 😂
Don't get me wrong, I have zero problem with Brita or Clorox. AJ+ is a communist propaganda channel (anti-capitalist propaganda 24/7 from those pro-Islamist nutbags). Nothing wrong with using a Brita over bottles of Nestle water.

Billion thanks to this channel AJ+. Keep going to expose the dirt from these greedy corporate companies.
It is interesting that UA-cam makes sure people know the channel is owned in whole or in part by the Qatari government. Do they do this with all other sources or is this just compliance with Saudi demands?
Broccoli Fan there is a supply and demand... what do you expect. You can’t just stop operations completely and lose the supply. It’s a simple but very profitable business.
Broccoli Fan This Terrorist Channel sucks balls.
you guys are just being dumb asses like you pay people to get water running in you house so paying people to give you battled water that is the same thing

they're barking at Nestle. i hope they're barking at their politicians too.
@Krypto Analyst they are controlled by these corporations. Politicians are mostly just pupets
😂
Exactly this.
@@dissonanceparadiddle they choose to be puppets because they can profit from it. They are corrupted, nothing else. Don't try to defend them. The moment you have to lie with a straight face to hide the truth it means you are doing something wrong
@@ForeverHobbit oh I agree 100 percent. They willfully sell their soles and the safety of others for money
As far a I can remember ..since I was a kid nestle water tastes like trash
Dude Upper Michigan has some of if not the best water in the world. The Chinese bought water from great lakes an called it champagne water.
Yes NESTLE water is some SHIT
Ice mountain water is mfing good tho
Ice Mountain is great
@@Davido50 best wayer comes from pacific northwest. Seattle surrounding areas has the best natural waters ive experinced. I have been almost everywhere on the globe.
Dude is right. I remember having a $100 water bill and I'm sure the usage for that month didn't add up to 1% of what Nestle is pumping in a minute. And all they get charged is a few hundred dollars. Crazy talk. Vote them out.
So each well sucks about 200 - 300 million gallons of water annually if my math is right, and according to the video Nestle is operating 9 wells in that area, so that is about 1.8 to 2.7 BILLION gallons of water out of the ground annually. feels like you don't need a degree to understand it's bad for the environment to suck that much water from that small of an area.
The 400 gallons per minute is for the plant, not each individual well. So the total extraction is 210,000,000 gallons per year.
To put that in perspective - per the video, the wells are spread out over Mecosta county (571 sq miles) and Osceola county (573 sq miles). Average rainfall in the area is 32.7" per year. So the amount of rain that falls in the area annually is 649,660,000,000 gallons.
210 million is 0.03% of that - granted this percentage is averaged over the entire two counties, and is likely higher in the vicinity of the wells (let's be generous and say 1%). Of course, I don't have a degree in this, so I can't say for sure how bad taking 1% of the water out of an ecosystem really is.
degnaw So you are saying all those changes in the environment of the area are not caused by the wells of Nestle? that might be true but there is no way to prove that, and the mere fact that DEQ uses the data from Nestle to grand them the permit instead of an independent third party source just screams government corruption to me.
Neal Golden I'm not saying that per se. Nestle might indeed be contributing to the problem by taking that 1%, but it's impossible to say without (as you suggest) an independent third party collecting the data.
per minute - not annually
You simply cannont say if it's bad based on what they pump out. You need to know the groundwater flow and put this against the numbers you listed above. Then you can say it's bad.
I'm not trying to defend nestle here but saying its bad without any background information is not good.
“ Were not puppets” the city official for Evart needs to be fired and investigated.
That lady for Nestle instantly regretted doing the interview. She went in with fake facts and had nothing to counter argue. If this was a debate competition, she would be the first one out the door.
She was a pretty awful spokesperson for what I'm sure is a 6-figure salary that goofball's making
Alexander who cares. She makes a shit ton. At the end of the day if you work for McDonalds, Walmart , or Nestlé there will always be someone who thinks you're working for a corrupt, evil company.
*"👏THE👏SCIENCTH👏DOESN'T👏SHOW👏THAT."*

She was so stuck on a simple feedback. That was pretty awful and cringe Worthy.
why is a qatari owned news organization doing more to explain the point of view of the americans affected when our outlets wont give us a similar opportunity.
Thank you Aljazeera for having the capability to show the issues affecting the american public.
because the US government itself is the problem
No because Corp buy the Government don't blame the employee for the shit store policy,
Lobbying.
It's been in the news a year ago.
Because Aljazeera buthurt for Trump win the lection. Since Nestle donate to trump's campaign
you taking 400 gallons per minute and you need science to show you that it will have some kind of impact? yea keep turning a blind eye to reality
Jorge duarte that have major impacts and no one need science to show that
Mathis Bonsaint that's the point I'm making. 👍
You all need to get a good lawyer and get signatures and talk to the town people getting paid for them taking the water he said 300,000 dollars in 2017
Y’all getting hustled like a mug STAND UP !2019
Take action . Get em out take it higher dont let up fight for yours
That's just the money on top of the table that goes to the community. As for the money under the table...
But pro ultra rich monopolies can have lots of power according to idiots like Ben Shapiro.
😡When Nestle is finished sucking that town dry, they’ll move on to the next small town and repeat the same atrocity!😡 IF what is stated in this video is factual and true, I will continue to do my part by not purchasing ANY Nestle products.
chill out, it's not a big deal
Beede Bee right lol it’s just water
LovingAtlanta, out of curiosity, do you have any ideas how much water is lost naturally from these streams?
Alan Crane - It is mentioned in the video. Do I personally know how much water is lost? - No
Do I personally know that anything in this video is a fact? - No.
That’s a lot of succccccing dry
200 a year , be but I bet ceartain politicians and Head of ceartain agencies got a suitcase filled with $$ from Nestle
They own the land. Same as farmers but Nestle is just pumping huge amounts
Those politicians got paid off.
Yes period , we as a nation can see what corporations like this one (Nestle's)are doing to locals and the nation and they are from switzerland , its time to stop them from raping us as a nation and much more the locals , they need help in huge numbers ,
We could simply stop buying their products to stop them from raping us
We need to stop them
The same is happening in california and other countys across the nation
They are given resources to sell back to the citizens for a huge profit
I say boycott their products until they cooperate with the complaining victims of the USA
@Ricardo Correa its on the video from AJ+ videos
Ahh your pulling my leg
In CA some folks spend that much in CRV fees and plastic bag fees in grocery stores a year.
Omg that Arlene lady knew she was spiting out BS, you can tell by her body language and the way she was talking.
Samantha Timple She had no idea at all. She is the dumber sister of Kelly Ann Conway, what a liar
Of course she's going to lie her Job depends on it.
Samantha Timple yep
Samantha Timple "from a science perspective". You're not a scientist
Also the city manager.
I live in Stanwood michigan. Since the plant has been built and taking the water, it has actually dried up a well in the yard so we had to have the well moved. Also the pond we have in the front yard has become stagnant with barely a trickle in the summers. Whereas when I was a boy, I uses to fish outta that pond and watch my grandmother feed the catfish, you would see them coming by the hundreds to the surface of the water. Now it's just stagnant with algae. Not lives in it but frogs and snakes and turtles
I'm so very sorry to hear that. I don't buy bottled water never have and never will. I will stick with my tap water or use my brita water.
I thought the people were supposed to own our land and our water under capitalism but instead they take our shit and sell it back to us.
Usually not the last part though.
I'M SO SORRY ! THAT IS AWFUL !!!
Ice Mountain... I just see a shack in the middle of a field. Where is this 'ice mountain'?
Good ole marketing.
lmao
They been cheating us.
it comes from no fresh water mountain.
NAAAA
Spice Weasel wrong comment sis.
Spice Weasel the comment is about how the water isn’t actually found on a ice mountain but in a well in the middle of a field. There was nothing to do with plastic...
Interviewer: your not concerened the area is being depleated?
Nestle: tHe sCieNcE DoEs noT ShOW tHaT
DigitalMind right?! Even tho they stated that the computer science did show but nestles people were like nah! Wtf?!
The water level is visibly dropping each month and they’re wanting to say the science doesn’t show any evidence
I may be dumb but I’m not stupid
So sick of hearing the science. Lady shut up
Don’t buy nestle water, Corp greed.
After watching this, I will never buy a Nestle product again. What a disgusting company.
I'm not
I don't. Their water tastes terrible to me
well I normally Buy Deer Park water but from what I understand this is also maybe like a sub company of nestle so what I really am interested in doing after this documentary, is finding out what companies or brands are all affiliated with Nestle, and then I choose to not buy any of those.
Good luck - Google list of nestle brands
At 3:23 you claim to show two water marks. The highest mark you claim to be a water line is a seam between the different pours of the concrete......
When they are right about something they shouldn't lie about such stuff as it could be used by companies like nestle to create doubt about them...
Guessing by the city manager's reaction to when she asked if Nestle bought the town, his response really sais it all. This is such an eye opening video.
They generate $313k for the city and he claims that its "significant" for the city? Maybe it is and I dont know enough about city budgets, but it doesnt seem that significant to me. My HOA's reserves fluctuate that much in a single year. Thats one development and were talking about an entire city.
Being in a HOA, I would assume you (and your neighbors) aren't under the poverty line. It said the majority of the city is. So I would think there's a big difference where you live and where they live, and how significant that amount of money is.
What does it matter that the ppl are in poverty, they are never gonna split the money over the residents. The money goes to infrastructure for the residents.
Ya HOA must not be doing something right than. That’s a lot to keep putting out yearly
@@KobaCrawls Although you are correct that isnt a proper assumption to make. There are a ton of condos in low income areas.
For a small rural town, it creates a lot of slush money so the local gov't always gives positive PR! Nestle has bought most every major name of water and its bottling source in the USA. Nestle is a power house conglomerate of dominance byying everything from major pet food companies to water. When America wakes up after this globalization craze, we will realize we have been swallowed whole and baited our own hook.
It's always amazing to see how little people will sell out for. $330,000 is only about 4 good salaries. And the city sold out its people for that.
Ryan Stallard that's over 10 good jobs.
Not in the US. If you are making less than 50k, your salary is mediocre at best (and that's in a cheap area). 33k is poverty in many (possibly most) urban areas.
not really, as an american i would say Nestle is buying that water for dirt cheap
Hold on is this not the same state where there’s a water crisis... oh I forgot mainly black folk lived in Flint smh
@C Tac okay? Chill lol you dont understand what racism is
hey I want to sell $350 million dollars worth of ur water a year. i'll give u $200 for it?
*DEAL.*
Backdoor deals bro millions
Time to take back the land
Actually if you listened, they told you exactly what it is. $3.50 per 1,000 gallons, at 5,000 gallons per minute, there is 1440 minutes per day. If you can do simple math you can get the numbers... That town is making alot of money!!!!
Fook Nestle.
Not even $200 million?😯😶
“We’re not puppets”
Ahhh mate yes you are
SERIOUSLY
Not really
I laughed so hard when he said that
Yup money talks everywhere you look
@ETShermTheWorm hehe, yes that "$200". No bribes going on here :)
Make sure you guys watch til the end to see my interview with Nestle :)
Hope you enjoyed this season of Direct From looking at water issues around the world!

need full interview between you and nestle
This was heartbreaking but I loved the way you questioned the Nestle natural resource manager.
vie au paradis thank you for watching it all
Stop buying Nestle, coz govt wont do a thing 🌀
Flint Michigan residents have still NOT received compensation for the water crisis of 2014. Supposedly a $600 million settlement was approved but residents to this day have received nothing!

It will go away when ppl stop buying bottled water
so never
Yeah
👍 Yup! Unfortunately, most people don't trust tap water.
T Stanton white people's greed is destroying the planet
When you drink from an plastic bottle, you drink female hormones, breakdown products from washing powders and pesticides with it. If you want to drink from bottles, then the best option is to drink from glass bottles!
well, the science doesn't show environmental changes because it's their science. They can say whatever they want- so they'll only say good things.
Kinda works like Obamas Global Warming "Science" Funny how all the federal billions in grants were only given to green "scientists" who would support his agenda and write papers for it.
I just recently discovered your UA-cam channel and I just love for all the efforts you’ve made to educate the people on what’s going on around the world especially those affecting our environment. Continue the great job!
Interested to find out more about what some people are able to do in entrepreneurship in the community? Listen to latest Stories Worth Telling where we hear from an owner of a marina and the importance of water.

Wild idea: how about, instead of buying a new disposable water bottle from a multinational company every time you're thirsty, then just bring a water bottle of your own, and fill it up with regular tap water? You'll save on plastic production, CO2 emissions and money?
lmao try and find non contaminated water, let alone a container without bpa or bps.
Use a non-plastic bottle. It's not rocket science.
Twinkle Toes you. Can use your bottle
Simon Wismann another wild idea, do you know that most countries in Africa and Asia don't have access to pure distilled tap water ? Not saying that you're idea is bad, just saying if we don't help the poor countries to having tap water, it's pretty much useless to write that comment since Nestle sells bottled water mostly to those region who can't get access to pure distilled tap water
I have been to countries where you are not supposed to drink the tap water. But this video is about the US. It seems silly to me if you are in a position where you can drink the water from taps to start buying water. There was a company here in Denmark that wanted to sell bottled water along primary schoolers milk. But discussion made it not happen eventually. When people buy water from Nestle like this, you are obviously not paying for the water. You are paying for the delivery, the water bottling plants, the plastic and indeed the advertisement telling you bottled water is better then tap.
Sorry about the long string of frustration. But I need some procrastinating.
"I just looked at the numbers, and we generated 313,000 dollars."
*moment of awkward silence*
"That's actually not that much."
"Of course it- wait, what?"
“It’s a lot because you’re poor”
Saw this comment and thought it was accurate lol but when I hear about how much middle class spends in my area it’s actually not that much.

They actually do the same in Africa. The people who work there, bottling the water can't afford more than one bottle a day for themselves 🙄
At 11:01 the man puts it in a way thats insane to think about. Nestle is paying basically nothing for billions of gallons of water where as the people pay alot for their water bills!! That pi$ses me off and I don't even live there.
Your water bill pays for the pumping and delivery of the water, not the water itself. You can install and run a private well for free if you want.
I live in the UK, in a country where tap water is completely safe to drink. If you also live there, you know that there's an ever increasing demand for bottled water despite the many alternatives.I understand filtered water solutions such as a Brita can do the job, however you would be impressed by the amount of my friends who still prefer bottled water! And usually those are immigrants or expats who lived in countries where tap water is not safe! They say bottled water is "safer, you know exactly the mineral composition of the water each time, and so it has a great taste". Filtered water should technically enhance the flavor, but it does not recreate premium bottled water, such as Evian or Volvic.
Full disclaimer: I do not work for this company.
Since I live in London, I came across this startup called "Sküma" claiming to recreate and miniaturize the bottled water process, at home from your tap! This seemed interesting since it limits plastic waste and recreates the same purity, mineral composition and taste as other bottled water.
Being an expat myself, I can see this being a viable long-term solution for people with similar background or tap water concerns.
I think i’ve hear about them. Is it www.skumaltd.co.uk ?
I’m honestly curious if their product really delivers on what they advertise
I live in Canada and I use a Brita but I have never changed the filter. When I bought it I never saw a difference and it’s $$ for what it does. I always end up drinking from the tap or bottles. I’m really curious about this product. Do you know if they deliver in Canada?
@@mraspire2222 Yes that's one! It looks like they still have not launched yet. Anyways, I have signed up to their waitlist. Will try to give you an update in a future date.
@@laurafidalgo485 Ha ha! My cousin is in the same situation as you! It seems they will deliver in Canada
Nice! Looking into it
Water should be free. Mother Earth gives it away for FREE
So true... and Nestle tries to cover this up with their supposed charity. For example, they have (not sure if they do anymore) consistently sent thousands of bottles of water to Flint, Michigan each day. This may seem like a good thing but when you look at Flint’s population and water needs, that is less than a bottle per person. Nestle is fake and lying to everyone to try and make money off of a free resource that everyone should have
Batman Also, the government is to blame for the problem in Flint, to begin with. It’s manipulation and they are destroying our planet.
Kuhrizma Clemons that is also very true. Many people are just too greedy. They don’t care about ethics or improving people’s lives. All they care about is making as much money as possible. Greed is what makes capitalism bad.
Yes but you still need to treat the water
water is free go to a stream dip a bottle in and bingo
Well, stop buying anything from Nestle and they won't sell
Easy to say , hard to do
Chrispy Bacon Not hard to do. You have so many options. Target sells its water bottles for example and is cheaper than Nestle.
@@tylerdavidson2400 I dont know what kind of things nestle sells in the US but here in Greece they sell the best cereal , they dont own (yet) any water bottling companies , they also sell stuff like baking ingredients etc. but i guess its not that hard just to switch to another brand of bottled water . Thanks for letting me know.
@@tylerdavidson2400 I work in a grocery store check out what other products Nestle sells. Even in your home. Nestle is kind of everywhere.
Mickey jay I know they sell a lot. But atleast in USA, you have so many other options.
This guy just said that they charge Nestle $3.50/1000 gal. They pump 500 gal a minute. Quick mafs: At $1/gal Nestle brings in $30K an hour and pays out $105 for that same hour. Lmao how can I get in on this deal?
High key I buy this water all the time to. Nestle or dasani, Michigan water sure does taste clean
Jeremy R taste clean?? Dasani??? Man u need to research the water your drinking and what u think is taste clean its most likely artificial flavors
"From the science perspective.....the science shows that it's just science, we've studied it and its science." -Nestle
Screw Nestle not drinking their water anymore
Almost every brand of water is owned by Nestle lmfao.
Good move,but y buy in the first place?
jeyanthi prabhu because I like drinking nice water and don’t care about the environment
Max so you like little bits of plastic ay, lol joking I’d take little bits of plastic over little bits of whatever are in the pipes anyday.
@@TigerTT you can go to a water store and buy your water that way. Reusable water containers. Saves a lot of money
Is everyone blind? This is more or less an issue because your governments don't care. If I was in Nestle's position I would do the exact same thing.
Yeah im sure they spend millions on lobbying, but look at the underlying cause: your government.
They even said it on the video, Nestle is taking advantage of relaxed legislation.
I am by no means advocation environmental degredation but look at the facts.
Agreed
Correct.
Capitalism *
I disagree, if it's a company run by human beings then should be concerned about what happens to a populace if they do certain things to it.
And you can't just say that lobbying and company-enabled reseearch is just something every company does, that's not good. Those are amoral things to do, especially on a scale like this.
@@invaderg3332 that's fair, but don't tell me you wouldn't do the same thing. Look at any natural resource, there really is no ethical way of taking them. There will always be someone or something negatively impacted.

Don't worry when the aquifer has been pumped dry they will pack up & leave.
And the locals are left with picking up the trash and scraps of what is left

All about money im sure nestle buys them out to allow them to do whatever they want 💸💸💸💸
$313,000... That's huge?!? While Nestle makes billions you get to gnaw on a bone. That city manager is dumber than a box of rocks. I should make a business giving that man a dollar in exchange for 10 dollars back. I bet he would be like "oh it's a dollar, it's huge!".
we all know he gave himself a pay raise
lol it's more like you're a manager in a store, you make $1k and harmonize the workers with $1 each.

nestle is sucking water out of the ground everywhere on this planet. disgusting and totally unacceptable.
Lol he knows the town got bought out.
He's probably corrupt which is why he got angry and defensive at being asked if the town was bought out.
Kyle Bennett yep I totally agree with that the city manager probably has a really nice truck and home
you're right, did you see how triggered he got!
And his math is troubling. He said the town receives about 300K from Nestle but to replace the well, it costs about 1 million.
Mysterion South Park your point? He should be poor to be a public servant?? That would cause real corruption
Firstly, kudos. Great work, I am your fan. As a fan I am requesting you to look into the issue on Sterlite Industries located in Tuticorin, Tamil Nadu , India. The local people are getting affected of cancer and other diseases and the local government instead of protecting the people, the government shot the protestors who came to the road and raised their voice against the corporate. The world must come to know the problems we face at our place.
Hope you would help us by bringing the issue to the world.

Should be illegal to make billions on something they get for free. Hope nestle catches fire and goes bankrupt
i heard water bottles and transports itself
See, that, I think is on the buyer. If you're stupid enough to buy bottled water, then that's on you.
But yeah, taking chunks of a lake out of a state without paying for it-- that I have a problem with.
That shouldn't be illegal. What should be is what the politicians and bureaucracy did. If virtually all your constituents said no and you did it anyway, democracy failed.
Not if stupid people keep buying the stuff.. "we" are the problem.
Unfortunately they will never go bankrupt. They will just make a new factory in a new city and suck it dry over and over again.
Funny how the CEO is almost laughing when she is answering the questions like she doesnt buy her own bulls*** 😂
They do the same in BC Canada. Bottle millions of litres of clean water and sell it as Nestle Purelife for profit
Same in my country
I saw a different brand here in my local store and it says it being brought from Canada
If they can pull this shit off in America , just take a minute to think about what they could do to the rest of the world. Its a really shady company .
You are right, our imposed president in mexico just sold our water yesterday
My heart goes out to those affected by Nestle.... Rich getting richer and the locals are the ones that are paying for it...
Why don't you go to Michigan by yourself and get there a bottle of free water? That's why you have to pay Nestlé.
Nestle water does not taste good it has a weird after taste
Chris Grant ......yeah, it's called the taste of capitalism
ajazmohammed37 if I drink bottled water I get essentia water
They probably put fluoride in it too
It could be the Minerals, i drinked some water it doesnt have a taste or it tastes different
son vult 💀💀
This same exact thing is happening outside a Palm Springs, CA. While we were under mandatory water rationing due to drought conditions, Nestlé was making a killing bottling water and selling it back to us residents for a HUGE markup...
Its major because half of it is going into his pocket.
That city manager dude has no clue how to do his job. That town should be making MILLIONS of dollars as a year, not $300,000.

Not buying nestle products after watching this. Thank you so much for opening my eyes
I am so I cancel you out ;)
Boycotting nestle won’t help, especially for the people that depend on them for jobs.
Holding them accountable for these destructive practices WILL help. They need to find new ways to make profit that aren’t destructive to the environment or the livelihoods of people that use the free, clean resources of the environment.
They also need to either send more of that profit down the line to the lower level workers, who need it desperately, or contribute more of that profit back into charity organizations or free constructive services that help the general population.
They do that now, a little, but they could be doing more... a lot more
I know they keep saying it's only $200 they pay what they have to have a lot of equipment processing plants and millions of dollars with equipment to put the water out And they're putting people to work don't forget that
"From a science perspective"… actually the science shows the opposite. Just because you name drop science doesn't make your argument valid.
Hahah i love how she kept saying "from a science perspective" but presented no valid scientific proof. Typical corporate liar. She needs to lie to protect her job.
3:22 the upper "watermarking" it is the mark left by the concrete formwork not by a previous water level. As much as I enjoy this kind of reporting, I think we must be rigorous
Yeah you are 100% right. That guy is a liar
Yes that is from the construction, also I live right next to a river that size, the water levels go up and down depending on the time of year and how much it has rained, and every few years if floods and the river changes form slightly, I think these people are way over estimating the effects of pumping 250 gallons a min from a well, that's nothing compared to how much water is flowing down that river, if you pumped 250gpm into that river you wouldn't notice a difference in height, i'm sorry but the stuff these people are saying is just ridiculous, i'm not trying to pick a side.
@@ExperimentalFun Nesle still is stealing water and putting it in plastic bottles and selling it nearby for a high price.
@@vinniecocco9932 Nesle is still stealing water from nearby and selling it for a higher price. Also Nesle tries to steal other compqnys and hide the evidence.
@@insectbite1714 I understand what you are saying, but people are still buying it.
That Nestle lady knows what’s going on. Never mentions what science.
And this doc doesnt go into it etheir, because all they want is to raise questions about non questions. 400 gallons a minute is nothing.
"we've had people say the trout is bigger and better now that Nestle is here". Yup, I'm convinced.
Well, now we know why Switzerland is so rich ...
" WELL SOMEBODY IS SUCKING THE WATER OUT OF MY CREEK " ..... you go old timer 😂 7:44
Dena . You are the sun of UA-cam
mahmod eissa wow, thanks! Adding that to my resume ❤️
dude, she just replied to you.
More like the snich of UA-cam
Artanis That's definitely her.
Decades later, it will become a desert. Water "cycle" can't exist if there is no water in the first place.
Great video, thanks for sharing. The even bigger problem is the plastic pollution. Greed, local gov. and politics at play here.
“Science perspective” = This is how I get my paycheck
When you live in Michigan and never knew this happened
Nestle is becoming partners with Starbucks so welcome to America another Monsanto
This person is a great journalist very non biased. No smirks or side-eyes. No temperature rise. Simple questions and answers. I need to learn these skills.
Bottled water has microscopic plastic particulates in it. I will only buy a bottle of water when I'm desperate. Otherwise I just use tap with a brita filter. But eventually I ll get a berkey water filter. I cannot support that particular industry.
same, when i leave my house i take my metal water bottle with me
Your metal water bottle has some kind of a gasket that is poisoning you with plastic.
Brita is licensed and distributed by Clorox in the USA. So you're giving money to an evil corporation that produces cleaning supplies and plastic bags (they own Glad).
Clowns.
Willie Jenkins Oh wow Willie, you're so smart. But yet gaskets are typically rubber and they get little exposure. And my brita doesn't cost nearly as much money as compared to buying water bottles 😂
Don't get me wrong, I have zero problem with Brita or Clorox. AJ+ is a communist propaganda channel (anti-capitalist propaganda 24/7 from those pro-Islamist nutbags). Nothing wrong with using a Brita over bottles of Nestle water.
Berkeley is where its at !
Your doing an amazing thing, I'm in California and had no idea this was happening in Michigan. We deal with something similar, however it's not Nestle who's sucking up our water but farmers.... paramount farms to be specific.... this is a very scary thing that more people need to be made aware of
The corrupt politicians got their share too ;)
Lobbyists love politicians, they take 0,001% from what companies make from the decision.
