Dozens of activists gathered outside a Nestlé plant in Los Angeles Wednesday to demand the food giant stop bottling water in California. An activist with the Courage Campaign said Nestlé is unfairly exporting water as the state faces a crippling drought and mandatory caps on consumption.

Laura Leavitt: “Californians across the state and businesses across the state are urged to conserve water. They’re doing their part. There are mandatory water restrictions. Meanwhile, Nestlé is bottling our precious resource, straight from the heart of California’s drought, exporting it out of state and selling it for profit. It’s completely outrageous and irresponsible and unethical, and we’re here today to demand that their bottling practices immediately be halted during this crisis.”
