Back to School Tips & Tools
Teachers:
Take Back the Tap!
True or False: Students across the U.S. are being taught about water and bottled water from a Nestlé-sponsored water curriculum.
Answer: True. Nestlé sponsors a school curriculum to teach students about water, even though they are a major abuser of our water, bottling it and selling it back to us for a huge profit.
We’re working to counter Nestlé and have created the Take Back the Tap Curriculum to get out the truth. If you’re a teacher or know a teacher, help build the movement to protect tap water with our curriculum.
