Thanks Lisa..such a tough one, and important to discuss..no easy answer..we see this happening in politics too..very strange "bedfellows" these days..we need keep "calling it out" like you are doing, and force transparent about these relationships and connections..

So true! I have huge issues with non-profits teaming up with companies who have nearly the opposite actions that they are working against. If it was about the money, then the CEOs and Boards of these companies could give money - this is greenwashing at its finest.

ugh, i hate this stuff- like all the "pinkwashing" that happens during breast cancer awareness month.

I understand that times are tough, but we'll never make it out of this mess unless we actually make real gestures towards helping our planet (not one step forward for BOTH those who harm and hurt it).

Of course Scott Miracle Grow PR reps now exactly what attaching their name will do: associate them with an environmentally legit organization thus giving them "cred".

If the Keystone Pipeline taught us anything, it is that speaking out works.
