Last week we reported on our encounter with the infamous Tamara Henry, AKA “GreenT,” a roving environmental reporter with a nose for scandal that puts Woodward and t Bernstein to shame. Well folks, the infamous GreenT interview is finally available and we have to warn you: it isn’t pretty. Watch GreenT move in for the kill as she [...]
Great review on KOR at our retail parter, Sundog Trading Company.

It’s official. The backlash against bottled water has finally “tipped” as Kim Jeffrey, the CEO of Nestle Waters, which controls 35% of the market, acknowledges his company’s damage to the environment.
