I am working my way through Nestle's submittal and think that as a community we should ask all the tough questions. If it is a good proposal then...great.

While on the surface it seems a relatively benign proposal, Chaffee County needs to be looking towards sustainability practices for the future, and trucking our precious water to Denver doesn't appear to fit with that. Then, as you say, this is set against the backdrop of the privatization of global water supplies, which for obvious reasons doesn't sit comfortably with me. I agree Mike.

I just watched Flow, a documentary about the privatization of water. http://www.flowthefilm.com/ I would strongly recommend it. Very raw, eye opening, account of what is going on and Nestle's impacts on a community in Michigan are documented. I am going start poking around and asking questions. Maybe this is a good proposal for our community. But I am a little skeptical when someone starts using the sustainability label to describe pumping water out of the ground, trucking it to Denver and putting it in plastic bottle to sell back to us. Call it anything but sustainable. Great work Citizen. Keep it up. I am embarrassed to say I have not been paying close enough attention to this proposal.

Keep up the good work. Thanks for not glazing over some of the important points, this helps make sense of the whole thing and helps alleviate some of the fears associated with it.
