Nationalise the bottled water industry (1 Viewer)

The government should take control of companies that sell australia's spring water

it is outrageous that these companies are stealing natural resources that belong to EVERYONE and making a pretty penny out of it

i mean if you happen to be arbitrarily born in a certain geographic area then you obviously have an automatic stake in all of the property in that area (if even you have never even seen it, let alone made any attempt upon improving it in any way)

this is a disgusting example of corporate greed and demonstrates how capitalism is incompatable with democracy, and the government should act now

Water is renewable you idiot.

Water is renewable you idiot.

Not if they take it from aquifers. I mean yeah, sure it's renewable eventually, but so is coal

Bottled water tends to be a lot worse than tap-water. Fewer quality controls, more impurities.

I do see a pointless waste of oil on the materials and manufacture of these bottles, the vast majority of which are sent to a tip. It's pointless waste at its height.
