the Bottle exposes the truth behind bottled water marketing and defends
the human right to water in the face of increasing corporate control.
Value [the] Meal challenges the fast food industry to stop driving an
epidemic of diet-related disease, and our campaign Challenging Big
Tobacco protects the first-ever corporate accountability treaty from
tobacco industry interference.
