controversial bottled water giant BlueTriton before it is too late.

John,

Green grocery giant Whole Foods stocks its shelves with bottled water
brands owned by BlueTriton, which makes its money by pumping water out of
communities suffering from drought and water scarcity.

The multinational supermarket chain is known for its ethical grocery
sourcing and business practices. Yet, there is nothing ethical about its
partnership with BlueTriton. That is why Whole Foods needs to hear from
you.

The grocery giant depends on its image as a green, sustainable and
wholesome brand, so a scandal involving unethical water sourcing would be
incredibly damaging. That is why together we need to apply public pressure
on Whole Foods to address the problematic partnership with BlueTriton, and
to clean up its supply chain.

its shelves.

Whole Foods prides itself in its supply chain transparency and honest
ingredient list, making clear in its value statements that it believes
that customers should know where products come from. But, the company is
still working with a supplier that sources its water from drought-stricken
areas, national parks, and communities who are worried about water
scarcity.

In fact, six communities across North America are actively fighting to
stop BlueTriton from taking away their local water supply. In California,
where people have been suffering through an historic drought, extreme
weather, and water usage restrictions, BlueTriton has been draining away
24 times more water than it’s legally allowed to.

If Whole Foods truly wants to source responsibility and be an
environmental steward, it cannot continue to work with suppliers like
BlueTriton that do harm to communities and delicate ecosystems.

Together, the Ekō community can move Whole Foods to stop selling
BlueTriton bottled water, and any other product that contributes to water
scarcity. The grocery giant continuously seeks to improve its products and
supply chain. Just last year, the grocery giant announced that it will not
sell lobster from Maine over sustainability concerns. Today, Ekō members
like you can make sure that Whole Foods puts an end to disastrous water
sourcing.
