High Fives, Shapleigh!

Local water activists in Shapleigh, Maine worked tirelessly for six months to safeguard their water. They canvassed at the local dump, hosted educational workshops and struggled to protect their local watershed from corporate greed. And they won the battle: no testing or drilling from Nestlé.

victory signCongratulations to local water activists in Shapleigh, Maine who worked tirelessly for six months to safeguard their water. They canvassed at the local dump, hosted educational workshops and struggled to protect their local watershed from corporate greed. And they won the battle: no testing or drilling from Nestlé. The committed movement in Shapleigh was spurred on by the dedicated grassroots efforts of POWWR (Protecting our Water and Wildlife Resources). This is not only a victory for Shapleigh but for communities everywhere working to take back the tap!

Please send Shapleigh a note of congratulations and encouragement.
