Starbucks Moving Water Plants Away From California Drought

In efforts of lessening the burden on California’s drought, Starbucks Corp. will be moving their Ethos water bottle production plant to Pennsylvania.

The move will occur within the next six months as reported by Mother Jones.

Right now the Seattle based coffee company produces their water bottles in Merced, California, which has been determined one of the most affected cities and is in “exceptional drought.”

The private springs in Baxter from which the company sources their water and is then transferred for production in Merced is also in extreme drought.

Starbucks senior vice president of global responsibility and public policy, John Kelly announced:

“The decision to move our Ethos water sourcing from California and reduce our in-store water reductions by more than 25 percent are steps we are taking in partnership with state and local governments to accelerate water conservation.”

The waters will not be taken from the Californian Starbucks locations, but will be distributed through a new founded supplier.

The reason for Starbuck purchase of the Ethos water back in 2005 was to “address the  global humanitarian water crisis” by donating five cents per bottle sold in their stores

The company has raised more than $12 million to water efforts in Africa, Indonesia and Latin America for cleaner water.

Now Starbucks will move their productions to help save California from a water drought.
