Letter: Bottled water at odds with Dempsey sustainability drive

MAINE SUNDAY TELEGRAM • November 27, 2022

I am a fan of the good work that actor Patrick Dempsey has done through his creation and ongoing support of the Dempsey Centers. I read with interest of his involvement with the Ecology School in Saco to meet students and film promotional videos for the school and its corporate partner Poland Spring. How can the Ecology School, with or without Patrick Dempsey, promote and benefit from the mass consumption of bottled water? The Ecology School should be advocating sustainable solutions like stainless steel bottles, each one able to eliminate the need for thousands of plastic bottles. ~ Phil Fournier, North Yarmouth
