Offsetting the damage?

Thanks for posting this information.

What do you think about fiji? Both bottled water and flown into the US sounds little bit too much to me.

They started a marketing campaign that claims that they are carbon negative:

To me it seems that shipping water over great distances in a plastic bottle and then planting a tree to compensate is little of a stretch.

Currently they got one of the lowest ratings of any product on sustainlane:

IMO a tree does not compensate for a pile of trash.

I feel the same as you and others are feeling about FIJI, it's a new way to market the same type of product. And what a marketing strategy, to push the fact that Obama drinks FIJI water! While I support Obama, I will continue to oppose bottled water.

Thanks for your comment.
