Office of Sustainability and Center for Civic Engagement Present
In the News: Local Water Issues - Tapped Screening & Discussion with Kingston Citizens
Thursday, February 5, 2015
Bertelsmann Campus Center, Weis Cinema
The bottled water industry has come to Kingston
The issue: Niagara Bottling Company would like to site a plant in Kingston and use the municipal water supply. Tapped: this documentary examines if the access to clean drinking water is a basic right, or a commodity that should be bought and sold. This documentary will look at the financial and ecological impact of the bottled water industry and its effects on our health, climate, and local economies.
Discussion: After Tapped, hear from Rebecca Martin, the founder of the KingstonCitizens.org, a group committed to improving the quality of life of Kingston residents through accountability and transparency between the people and their local government.
Light refreshments, including Bard tap water, will be provided.
