A recently released 30-minute documentary from Great Lakes Now that examines some of the most pressing questions about the health of the largest supply of fresh drinking water on the planet is well worth your time.
Who’s responsible for the health of the Great Lakes? Should companies like Nestle be allowed to bottle that water, for literal pennies on the dollar, and then sell it back to us in plastic bottles? Good questions all, and ones that everyone, not just those of us who live near the Great Lakes, should be considering.
Give it a watch below.

I watched the documentary and came away unimpressed and unphased concerning municipal expansion of great lakes water for public use. So the aquifer is bouncing back, that trend may or may not continue, a public water project needs a quarter to half century time fame to cover bond financing, only the great lakes water can be consistently assured over that long a time frame, as to be economically viable.
Nestle sucking up r,000 gallons a minute for private profit is a totally different matter, but one that needs to be addressed at the state level by elected officials, corrupt or not.
