Nestle the water bottling company pumps out water from a well located in Aberfoyle, which is 3.2 kilometres from Guelph’s southern boundary. Nestle produced around 762 million litres of water, that is approximately 2.1 million litres a day, on average. A 2015 report says that was only 58% of the amount they were permitted to take in the latest five-year provincial license. Guelph city Hall, says there are “limits to the available groundwater to satisfy Guelph’s future water supply needs.” Guelph city Hall says at the rate Nestle is pumping out the aquifer it can affect and trouble the city’s future water
The article “Birth Control: Could It Be Illegal Again?” that is found on Time Magazine was written to warn the audience of the actions of birth control opponents and how the pill is at jeopardy of being banned in the United States. In an approach to convince readers that birth control is in danger, the author uses logos to appeal to logic but contradicts the point in the article by stating specific reasons pro-birth-control is succeeding.
“Nestle in Michigan” is a video clip on YouTube about the Nestle corporations bottled water plants with a primary focus being on the plant located in Stanwood, Michigan (Menzies, 2010). Nestle has a 99 year lease on property that only cost them $63,000, “they received $10 million in tax abatements”, and they are pumping water at a rate of 218 gallons per minute (down from the original 450 gallons per minute) (Menzies, 2010). In other words, Nestle is pumping dangerously large amounts of water that is free to them as property owners, selling it for a profit, and not being subjected to the same tax as other land owners.
Pay for play is not the answer. Ever since 1996 when Ed Martin was caught giving money to Webber, Maurice Taylor, Robert Traylor, and Louis Bullock. 4 out 5 of the starters for the Michigan state woverwrings basketball team. Since this high ranking officials in the NCAA have been discussing if they are obligated to pay the athletes, the answer has always been the same the college athletes can not be paid by anyone for their service on the field.
At the start of the film, we learn about a small town in Maine whose water supply was quietly taken over by Nestle. Nestle could take as much of the water as they wanted for free, and then could package it and sell back to the people of Maine for a thousand times more than the price of tap water. The company eventually got so greedy, that it took sole control of the town’s water supply, and switched the municipal water
Over the past decade, the Healthy Spring Water Company’s sales grew rapidly due to increasing concerns about water quality. In recent years, however, the company’s sales have been stagnant. The problem is that the market for spring water grew large enough that grocery stores began to carry it, at prices somewhat below those of Healthy Spring. Consequently, the grocery stores are enjoying most of the benefit of continued growth in this market.
Water should not be extracted from Canada for the following reasons. First, the price of bottled water is often higher than a liter of gasoline. This means that by buying bottled water Canadians are losing money when Canada has one of the world’s cleanest tap water. Bottled water companies still make money off it as they say tap water is dirty and on the bottle of water they will show mountains and beautiful scenery. Next, Nestle is taking 265 million liters of fresh British Columbia water every year to bottle and sell off around the world and it does not pay a penny. This doesn’t make sense as the world is in short supply of water and Nestle is taking it for free making a huge profit and selling it back to the customers. Nestle is
“One of the biggest challenges facing the bottled water industry is how to respond to the environmental claims levelled against it” (Grocer). Every time someone throws a bottle away, they have taken up more space in a landfill for the next four hundred fifty to one thousand years. Besides the long decomposition rate, water bottles are the cause of several more environmental issues. Overfilling landfills, health hazards caused by refilling, and the economic stresses due to the constant and inconvenient repurchasing are just a few of the negatives water bottles have on us. These plastic pollutants are doing more harm to both the environment and their users than good.
PepsiCo’s biggest area of struggle is within the environmental realm. Although the company has stated to be water conscience, not all water usage is being

Resources are the source of the firm’s capabilities. Resources are bundled to create organisational capabilities. Some of a firm’s resources are tangible and intangible. Tangible resources are assets that can be seen and quantified. Intangible resources include assets that typically are rooted deeply in the firm’s history and have accumulated over time. Intangible resources are relatively difficult for competitors to analyse and imitate. The four types of tangible resources are financial, organisational, physical and technological. And the three types of intangible resources are human, innovation and reputational (Hanson, D., Hitt, M., Ireland, R. D., & Hoskisson, R. E., 2011, pp. 75-78).
While there is no set formula on how a would-be inventor can take their great idea from mind to manufacturing, there are some things they must be aware of and some steps they simply must take as they move forward. If you think you have one of those great ideas, set aside all celebrations for the time being and start taking real action toward making the idea a productive and profitable reality. Be warned, though: this isn't going to be easy.
Life springs up around water sources. It is no coincidence that some of the greatest civilizations have been build need fertile bodies of water. Known life relies on water to sustain that life. So it is no surprise when a debate arose in 2013 around comments made by Nestlé Chairman Peter Brabeck regarding privatization of water and the fundamental human right to survive from dehydration and illness from non-portal water consumption. Although the context of Brabeck’s comment was taken out of context, issues surrounding the access companies like Nestlé have been given to bottle their water when people do not have access to clean water and droughts are threatening crop production. Adding a price tag is not the answer. The market, both these companies and their consumers have a major role to play in the management of water; a role that requires a change in mindset of privilege many citizen of the United States, and other countries that do not see the direct effects that serious clean water issue have on people that do not have it.
