Fight against Pepsi, Cocacola, Nestle

This is from an email I got from the website www.tappedthemovie.com
I’m writing to you today to ask for your help next week in spreading the word about the world water crisis and the perils of bottled water.
As those of you who have seen Tapped already know, bottled water is really a microcosm for some much larger issues facing our country: the world water crisis, the free-reign given to chemical corporations to use cancer causing agents in our products, the social injustice that effect minority communities across America, and plastic pollution.
WHAT CAN YOU DO?
1. Our first initiative will be the Tapped website will be (temporarily) overhauled in honor of World Water Week to feature a different aspect of the water crisis each day. We will feature a daily guest column, videos and public service announcements (including one by Jack Johnson!). We are counting on YOU to visit the website each day and share the videos/PSAs with your friends/family/loved ones/everyone you know. The content will change daily so it’s imperative you come back every day!
2. Also beginning World Water Day, our Line Producer Sarah Olson and I will be embarking on a 30 day 30 city cross-country “Get Off the Bottle” tour. We’ll be driving a glass truck across the country, trading people their empty water bottles for a pledge to reduce their bottled water use. All those empty water bottles will go in the truck with the goal of ending the tour in New York City on Earth Day (April 22nd) with a truck full of bottles and the pledges of thousands! We’ll have our tour route mapped out on the website and you can follow us on Twitter as well as our daily blog from the road. You can take the Get Off the Bottle Pledge online by become a fan on our Get Off the Bottle Facebook page. SEND THE PLEDGE TO ALL OF YOUR FRIENDS!
This is a chance for YOU to make a difference. We hope you’ll join us!
