Wow. Our 2009 feature on Fiji Water’s greenwashing must have made someone mad, because somebody recited several facts from our article on this cardboard sign. This blogger says he found the sign last week, taped to a bottle of Fiji Water in the New York Whole Foods where he works. In case you can’t read the back of the sign, it says: “production plant runs on diesel fuel 24/7. high grade plastic transported from China –> Figi –> YOU. shipping thousands of miles to the US & Europe while thousands of Figians do not have access to clean water…………..” Thanks for spreading the word, Fiji Water guerrilla, wherever you are.

“Lying.” “Disgusting.” “Scum.” “Slime.” “Corrupt.” “Enemy of the people.” Donald Trump has always made clear what he thinks of journalists. And it’s plain now that his administration intends to do everything it can to stop journalists from reporting things they don’t like—which is most things that are true.

No one gets to tell Mother Jones what to publish or not publish, because no one owns our fiercely independent newsroom. But that also means we need to directly raise the resources it takes to keep our journalism alive. There’s only one way for that to happen, and it’s readers like you stepping up. Please help with a donation today if you can—even a few bucks will make a real difference. A monthly gift would be incredible.
