Sierra Club Supporters

[Grumpy]

This is mite old, but interesting. Thing is with some of these companies, they have no clue where the donations go. Kind of an"oh, that sounds cool" kind of thing, so they give some money. Found this on All Crawl:

In an effort to help prevent the Sierra Club from shutting down more off-road areas, we've decided to post an updated list of companies that actively help fund the Sierra Club's projects. While we don't expect this to cause the Sierra Club to close its doors, we do know that several companies including Camelbak, REI, and The North Face have recently stopped offering their support after being exposed as donors. We urge you, whenever possible, to avoid giving your business to companies that support the Sierra Group so we can help keep public off-roading areas open!

Companies That NO LONGER Support the Sierra Group:

Camelback
REI
New Belgium Brewing Co.
Patagonia
The North Face
Outdoor Gear
Travelocity

It is so odd odd that big oil is on the list. I am happy that I can drink Fat Tire again. Non non nom

That sucks...I use windows 7 and drink lots of Coke...

The big oil thing does not surprise me at all. They're actually pretty slick, its like the Cigarette companies agreeing to all the warning labels. They need to make their image as good as they can because many people have that bad perception of oil companies, not just the Sierra club.

Keep your friends close, your enemies closer.....
