I had thought it odd that the granola bars I so enjoy had a Nature Conservancy logo on them, reading this Washington Post expose on the charity helps explain matters. Taking money from oil and logging interests is bad enough, but for Christ's sake, once you've built up $3 billion in assets, maybe its time you stop begging the little people for money. In a lot of ways, it reminds me of Morris Dee's Southern Poverty Law Center, which was exposed in the newsletter CounterPunch. Enough money in its trust fund to basically be solvent forever, yet their fundraising letters brag about an old woman forgoing a winter coat to give to them. Sickening.
