I am not a scientist, but I firmly believe what is happening with Climate Change. I brought this up at one of the hearings for Nestle’ s and was totally ignored. Water is going to be the most important part of what it takes to live in the Southwest and to think of handing water over to a greedy corporation like Nestle’s is beyond comprehension! Thank you for speaking out, Ms. Malone.

hold the commissioners responsible by starting a recall petition and replace them with green/sustainable points of view. and then take the whole case to court and fight, fight, fight, and do not give up no matter the cost. nestle is opportunistic and will not stop with just one spring, not here or anywhere else. our way of life is at stake and water IS the crucial ingredient between life and death, abundance and scarcity in this enviornment.
begin thinking and planning on a homerule charter for your county and city based on the rights of the land, air, water, animals, humans, and abandon the statute based charters which offer no protections for the elements which comprise the quality and way of life here. it is the only viable alternative and if we do not stand up for us and the environment with a homerule rights based charter you can basically kiss you ass goodbye because the environment can not be protected with a statute based system of laws. what’s at stake is democracy, the homerule type/variety which allows the citizens to have control, not the state.

Thank You Delia for stating so simply and passionately what many people realize to be true. Some of the most educated and informed experts in the field consider Water to be the Blue gold or “Oil” of the 21st. Century. I just regret that it has taken a foreign company with the despicable track record of the Nestle Corp. to wake me up to this sobering reality….

Thanks to Ms. Malone for telling us how it is. Can the Commissioners still disregard these views of a professional? Or are they so hellbent on writing Nestle’s 1041 proposal that they have closed their minds to the hard facts that the citizens of Chaffee County have presented to them?
