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.

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.

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.
