Dear Linden Hills Friends,

Thank you so much for making the decision to ban the sale of bottled water in your store. I have always wondered why Co-ops sell bottled water, as it is such an unnecessary and destructive part of our society. You deserve kudos for making this courageous decision and for standing up for the planet and people across the globe who are often negatively affected by giant bottled water companies.

Thanks again,

Emily Barker

You’re welcome, Emily! Sometimes, doing the right thing is pretty simple, really. We owe thanks to the Ashland Food Co-op in Ashland, OR for giving us the idea, and to our staff Green Team for doing the research.

Best to you,
Jeanne, Member Services
