John, 

BlueTriton makes its money by pumping water out of communities suffering
from drought and water scarcity, selling the water in plastic bottles that
end up in landfills, and then claiming that it is a “planet and people
conscious” company.

It is clear that BlueTriton is trying to cover up its harmful business
practices with greenwashed propaganda. The company’s own lawyers say that
its sustainability claims are “puffery” not to be taken seriously.

But BlueTriton is able to get away with its deception by partnering with
people that the public trusts. Master Chef Wolfgang Puck is the latest
celebrity that BlueTriton has enlisted to sell its unethically sourced and
planet-destroying bottled water.

If we can convince Chef Puck to cut ties with BlueTriton before he starts
promoting its bottled water, then we will strike a huge blow to the
company. That is why we have to act fast.

BlueTriton now.

BlueTriton’s deception goes even further than its bogus sustainability
claims. The company is charging people for a product that may not be
better or even as good as the water coming out of your tap.

There is currently a lawsuit against BlueTriton claiming that Poland
Spring water is actually groundwater, and not 100% spring water as
advertised. And at least some of the water in Arrowhead “100% spring
water” is actually groundwater according to Colorado state law. So who
knows what’s in BlueTriton’s other spring water brands.

Wolfgang Puck has just signed up to be an Ambassador for BlueTriton’s
ORIGIN spring water. He’ll be making public appearances and be featured in
online campaigns to convince people to buy BlueTriton’s “spring-to-table”
water.

But is ORIGIN, formerly known as Poland Spring ORIGIN, all that different
from the controversial Poland Spring brand? Is the public paying more for
a higher quality water or just a fancier bottle? And just because the
bottle is made from recycled plastic, doesn’t mean it won’t still end up
in a landfill.

Wolfgang Puck has said that he cares about the environment and
sustainability. He also cares about fresh, local, high-quality
ingredients. So it makes no sense that he would align himself with a
company whose actions show that it likely doesn’t share the same values.

[ [link removed] ]Tell Wolfgang Puck to live his values and cut ties with controversial
bottled water giant BlueTriton.

SumOfUs members like you have been speaking out against bottled water
companies for nearly a decade. And as a result of the public outrage,
Nestlé was pushed out of North America.

But now BlueTriton is picking up right where Nestlé left off, and we must
continue fighting back. Getting celebrities like Chef Wolfgang Puck to
distance themselves from BlueTriton is crucial to ending the dangerous
hold that the bottled water industry has on our country. That is why your
signature is needed to help ensure that he takes our demand seriously.
