Bottled Water
KAIROS 2006-7 Campaign
Water is a sacred gift connecting all life. But it’s a gift under threat throughout the world, and so is free and equal access to it. Last year, through KAIROS -- the ecumenical justice network of the Canadian churches -- thousands of people across the country educated themselves, the public, and their municipal governments. They called on all levels of government to keep water access public here and around the world, and to safeguard our watersheds here at home. Many people made personal changes to their use of household water or quit buying bottled water.
In 2007 KAIROS will continue to advocate for alternatives to bottled water. For more information see the KAIROS website bottled water information.
