On this edition of Your Call, Daniel Jaffee discusses his new book, Unbottled: The Fight Against Plastic Water and For Water Justice.
Over the past four decades, bottled water has become the world's most consumed packaged drink and a $300 billion market led by Nestle, Danone, Coca Cola and Pepsi. Jaffee writes about the movements fighting these companies and their ongoing push to privatize water.
