  Oh come on. He is clearly referring to the problem of water being wasted as a valueless common good, mostly in the western world. And indeed, what is happening for instance in California right now can be seen as tragedy of commons problem (see e.g. http://legal-planet.org/2015/07/13/tragedy-of-the-commons-california-drought-style/ http://legal-planet.org/2015/07/13/tragedy-of-the-commons-ca...) But sure, if you need to confirm the BigCo CEO as incarnation of Satan, go ahead...

    > Oh come on. As long as we are using this form of persuasion – come on, this is the company that is trying to say it has rights to collect water from Strawberry Canyon based on a claim from 1865 – http://www.desertsun.com/story/news/environment/2016/05/07/nestle-forest-service-shouldnt-infringe-water-rights/84080776/ http://www.desertsun.com/story/news/environment/2016/05/07/n... How on earth can you think they are a socially responsible company committed to avoiding water wastage?
