My town stopped Walmart from upgrading to a super store. We had to fight many years, but we won. We are now in the midst of a fight to keep Nestle from starting a bottling plant in our county, taking our dwindling water supplies (due to global warming and drought) for almost nothing and selling it around the world, adding heavy truck traffic through our beautiful senic area, and adding more plastic bottles to the landscape, where many will end up in the ocean, killing sea life and fowl. Bottled water is a crime for the ecology. We need our water, as our prime water supply (a glacier) is melting and it will seriously affect our farms and orchards.
All for greed.
