BlueTriton is pumping out hundreds of millions of gallons of water from
distressed and drought-stricken water systems. But one man has the power
to stop the water thievery.

Sign the petition demanding that BlueTriton Chairman Dean Metropoulos stop
stealing the people’s water.

John,

As rivers, reservoirs, and aquifers dry up, billionaires like Dean
Metropoulos are jumping at the chance to turn the US water crisis into a
business opportunity.

Metropoulos is a corporate flipper who bought Nestlé’s North American
water bottling operation last year, renamed it BlueTriton Brands, and is
currently cutting costs so that he can sell it for a massive payday.

While Metropoulos’s greed is abhorrent, it is also an opportunity.

We have been working together for years to stop Nestlé, and now
BlueTriton, from pumping water out of the San Bernardino National Forest
and four other threatened ecosystems. But we can win these campaigns right
now by convincing Metropoulos that the money made from these five
controversial pumping sites is not worth the damage that we’ll do to the
BlueTriton brand if he doesn’t shut them down.

[ [link removed] ]Add your name to show Metropoulos that pumping water out of
drought-stricken communities is bad for business.

While Californians and Coloradans have been suffering through extreme
drought conditions and worsening wildfire seasons, BlueTriton is pumping
out over 50 million gallons of water every year from California’s San
Bernardino National Forest and Colorado’s Ruby Mountain Springs.

In Florida, the water profiteer is pumping out nearly 365 million gallons
a year from Ginnie Springs, endangering an already stressed ecosystem home
to rare turtles.

BlueTriton’s pumping operation in Maine’s Saco River Watershed dried out
the wells and depleted the aquifer that supplied the town of Fryeburg with
water.

And communities in Osceola Township, Michigan fear for the future of their
water supply as BlueTriton pumps out about 131 million gallons a year from
White Pine Springs.

But with one word, Dean Metropoulos can stop the harm BlueTriton is doing
to each of these struggling communities and ecosystems.

[ [link removed] ]Sign the petition demanding that Dean Metropoulos shutdown BlueTriton
operations in San Bernardino, Ginnie Springs, Ruby Mountain Springs, the
Saco River Watershed, and White Pine Springs.

Along with our partners from the impacted communities, we are working on
getting BlueTriton’s permits revoked and stopping attempts to greenwash
the BlueTriton brand. But with your help we can use the court of public
opinion to convince Dean Metropoulos that it is in his best interest to
shut down these damaging pumping operations.

Together we kicked Nestlé out of North America. We can take down
BlueTriton, too.
