Judge: Nestle can keep piping water from a national forest... [View all]

A corrupt Judge and Forest Service, plus greedy capitalists equals a bad deal for us and our environment.

I say "corrupt" because they obviously are not looking out for the public good.
This is a very dry part of the country. It doesn't take a degree in biology to understand the damage being done here.
We're talking about millions of gallons.


Judge: Nestle can keep piping water from a national forest, despite a permit that is out of date by 28 years

A federal judge has ruled that a permit allowing Nestle to pipe water out of the San Bernardino National Forest is valid, despite the fact that the permit listed 1988 as the expiration data and was never renewed.

The decision is a major blow for environmental groups that sued in an effort to stop Nestle from siphoning water out of public lands then sell it back to the public as bottled water.
