question about "good" corporations
can somebody more knowledgeable than me take a look at this list and tell me if any of these companies are considered socially or environmentally responsible? I see several known "evil" ones there but I don't have a great background in this. Also anybody know anything about this BSR conglomeration??? Ever hear of them?

3. kind of seems like some kind of "green washing" crap, doesn't it?
they are funding some kind of "environmental evaluation tool" decision making process (you just know that needs the little "tm" after it) that some other asscovering corporate environmental consulting group is trying to test in our watershed. A group I belong to has been invited to be involved. I am VERY skeptical.

4. It has to be a farce.



I saw AT&T and Verizon on there and knew I didn't have to look any further.

Just to refresh ... they told BushCo "sure, we'll give you whatever info
you're interested in. Don't worry about the annoying technicalities like
those silly old warrants or subpoenas."
