183: Taking a juicy, investigative look into one of the most controversial sustainability topics: bottled water. We are diving deep into the controversies surrounding big brands like Nestle (and the 51 brands they own) and Fiji - what the players in this multibillion-dollar industry legally have claim to, how they interact with governments, and how communities are speaking out.
Next book club pick: Poisoned Water: How the Citizens of Flint, Michigan, Fought for Their Lives and Warned the Nation by Candy J. Cooper, Marc Aronson. We're reading with N'Dea of @bmekween!
