Boycotting works. From this article in Forbes: “There is strength in numbers.”
“Target’s stock price (NYSE: TGT) is down 24%—from 137.40 on Jan. 24, the day Target cut its programs—to 104.70 on March 15.”
“Within that time frame, the stock is down 10% from when the 40-day kickoff began on March 5.”
“Tesla’s share price (NAS: TSLA) is down 40% since December, with more than $500 billion being wiped off the company’s value.”
Why Boycott Nestle?
It should probably be enough that the CEO, Brabeck-Letmathe said that the idea that water is a human right is “extreme,” and that Nestle played a major role in downgrading the water from a “right” to a “need” at the World Water Forum in 2000.
It goes without saying, but this is blatant attempt to make more money – they are the world’s largest producer of bottled water.
But that isn’t even the tip of the iceberg.
Here is an in depth summary, but the upshot is they do despicable things for profit:
- Knowingly source cocoa from plantations that use child slave labour.
- Tricked third-world mothers, with no access to clean water, into believing that formula was better than breastfeeding, leading to millions of infant deaths.
- Poisoned hundreds of thousands with traces of melamine in their food and caused the death of infants with their baby formula.
- Poisoning people with their wells.
- In 2002, demanded that Ethiopia, a country facing extreme famine, pay back a debt of $6 million for assets seized in the 1970s.
- Taking more water than they are legally allowed to.
- A study examining 11 top water brands found that Nestle has the highest amount of micro-plastics in their water bottles.
