No I'm just a humble journalist trying to get people to recognize their abilities to make a difference in the world around them. My Corporate sponsors are institutions that share the values of sustainability and conservation. Thanks for keeping me honest Clark.

They are so contrary here, they'll buy a Hummer just because tree-huggers don't want them to. Do you screen the corporations you work for on any level? Or do you take any contract you can get? I appreciate your responses here, but if your job is making exxon/mobile and/or lockheed executives feel good about themselves, I guess you could say I have issues with that. If your job is to subtly make them see how they are turning the planet into a toxic waste dump...bravo...carry on. I live in Texas, they love eating the planet here.

We have to act as individuals and make better choices in our consuming behavior to prompt both business and government to act in ways that reflect our social values. Remember, they only built SUVs because we insisted on buying them. That's starting to change. The demand for more fuel efficient, environmentally sustainable automobiles is growing.
