First, Whole Foods CEO attacks health care reform, causing health care
activist groups around the country to call for a boycott of Whole
Foods. Now this...<br><br>
-----<br><br>
Over the years, Whole Foods has painstakingly built a reputation as an
environmental leader which places its values above its bottom line. But
is it all just green lipstick on the proverbial pig?<br><br>
On its website, Whole Foods proudly touts its
<a href="http://salsa.wiredforchange.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=uKpRVna4LqCnUS94fxYlZ6Ss6T%2BUpM4I">
Green Mission</a>, claiming: "The people who work here - from the
CEO on down - are passionate about food, good health and the future of
this little blue dot that we all call home."<br><br>
Contrast that with the actual views of CEO John Mackey revealed in this
week's New Yorker profile where Mackey repeated climate denier lies that
"no scientific consensus exists" and disparaged clean energy
proponents as merely trying to "raise taxes and increase
regulation" based on "hysteria about global
warming."<br><br>
<a href="http://salsa.wiredforchange.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=cIgt2KycHGldV8ckabuBlKSs6T%2BUpM4I">
Sign our petition to Whole Foods demanding they live up to their values
and support bold climate action.</a><br><br>
Whether or not John Mackey believes it, there is no doubt that a clean
energy economy is our future. However, it's troubling that the leader of
a company which should be a shining example of this future is actively
spreading misinformation about the climate crisis.<br><br>
If Whole Foods is serious about being a responsible corporate citizen -
and not merely their slick marketing image - they need to clean up their
act.<br><br>
<a href="http://salsa.wiredforchange.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=llJfdjQ6GcyoQrPyGxm0O6Ss6T%2BUpM4I">
Tell Whole Foods to stand behind science, their customers, and their own
green mission by repudiating their CEO's climate lies.</a><br><br>
Thank You,<br><br>
