cost of Nestlé’s bottled water. Unfortunately, Nestlé neglects to give assistance to the thirsty. For such a profitable company, this negligence is extremely unethical. Today, CEO Paul Bulcke continues to bottle millions of gallons of water from aquifers in California despite the severe drought in the area. Although Nestlé has the legal rights to do this, the ethics of pumping water from such a dry area are questionable to say the least. In 2014, the salary of CEO Paul Bulcke was over eleven…

impact of global climate change is a rise at sea level. As this occurs, coastal cities, wetlands, and low-lying islands could be threatened with more frequent flooding, increased shoreline erosion, and saltwater encroachment into coastal rivers and aquifers”(Tarbuck,341). A rise of sea level of 230 feet would eliminate all of Hawaii’s current beaches, most of its towns and much of its land…

which has made water bottle makers be able to market this concept. For example, water bottles are advertised as pure and clean. However, this is a lie as we found out that that’s always been what about companies need to do is get the water from any aquifer, which allows them to deem the water as spring (clean) water.
