Bottler offers sports fields for city water

Here we find Nestle violating the spirit of the courts decision to limit their water usage by paying off a small town willing to sell what belongs to all of us.

Unlike in Mecosta County, there is little opposition in Osceola County to selling Evart's water for distribution elsewhere. Community leaders hope there will be a big payoff down the road: a new Ice Mountain bottling plant bringing scores of new jobs.

This is precisely where the Green Party needs to intervene. It's the same old "Well. we'd *love* to be environmental, but we need the jobs" attitude. How can the Greens point out the importance of preserving our natural resources without being dismissed as "against local jobs"?
