did people see the article about Lord Melchet (ex Greenpeace) joining a
large PR company, which has some of the biggest polluters in their
stables? The writer opined, that if environmentalists continue to be
hired by corporations, then the movement will be in trouble - I think
that it is a bit simplistic to think that the movements of one person,
or one organisation, defines the rest of the worlds' green movements,
but I do see the point, that those who ARE being paid by the large
polluters, and often paid well, should do well to look at the motes in
their own eyes...
