United Church Thinking Of Boycotting Bottled Water in Protest Of The Privatization Of Water
Posted by Tyler Kinch on 17th August 2006
The United Church of Canada may ask its members to stop buying bottled water.
The request is part of a resolution against the privatization of water supplies that has been put before delegates at the church’s general council this week in Thunder Bay.
Richard Chambers, the social policy co-ordinator with the national office of the church, said that water is a human right, and no one should profit from it.
Let’s hear it for Richard Chambers! Water is a human right! Why should anyone have control over our water besides the people? It belongs to the people. And when corporations sink their hands into it, people will suffer.
