For me, this has gone way too far. You are shipping your product 1/2 way around the world and then expect us to believe it is good for the environment. Are consumers really that stupid?

Thanks for trying to do good things to help the environment, but don’t feed us this silly line that it is carbon negative. I suggest you take another approach.

I applaud fiji water’s green building. It takes a lot of work, planning and expense to do so. We can all take a lesson in recycling. As to their bottled water. Yes, it is plastic, No, it is not good for the environment. Bottled water has its pluses though. It’s handy.
For my part, I use the same plastic bottle at least a dozen or more times. Simply refilling it and or adding flavor packets to it.
I love fiji water. And I love refilling it with L.A. Water.
You know what they taste like? Water.

For those of you that so sharply criticize FIJI water, it should be recognized that at least it is doing its part to reduce waste and have less environmental impact. It is doing more than most corporations out there. If you feel so strongly about not utilizing a plastic bottle, then tell the rest of us how a company can safely, cost efficiently, and with less of a carbon imprint, provide and deliver water to the masses. In order to add credibility to your accusations/complaints, show us your solutions to these problems. If you can only provide accusations or negative statements but cannot provide effective solutions, then why would you expect any business to take your complaints/concerns credibly and even respond to such? Complaining is easy. Finding workable, cost effective and truly sound environmental solutions is the hard part.

Why put good, healthy water in a contaminant plastic bottle? You are defeating the purpose of providing a healthier way to drink water by using PLASTIC!!!!!

Last week I got all over Deer Park for their new print ads here http://greenyourbusiness.blogspot.com/2008/07/greenwash-alert-deer-park-print-ad.html Now, today I came across you new ad. I really dont want to be the bottled water greenwash police, but you guys have gone too far with this ad. Didn’t you learn anythibg from your last greenwash outing? Just like with Deer Park, I applaud what all your eco-actions . However, it seems to be a blatant case of greenwash to POSITION bottled water product as being good for the environment. You should tout your excellent behavior, but you should’nt suggest that buying bottled water is good for the environment.

Your ad also violates the two greenwash tactic of
Dirty Business and Ad Bluster.

Sell your water, not the the environmental friendliness of the packaging or company.
