Deforestation is ruining our planet via beautiful landscapes, natural resources, and wildlife. ALL are a natural and necessary part of the Earth's cycle. Many HUMAN lives will be affected if P & G and other big name brands aren't discouraged from deforestation.

Environmental organization Greenpeace has published its “How green is your cloud” report, which gave Amazon a failing grade for its lack of clean energy and not being transparent enough about the details of its cloud infrastructure, and found Amazon Web Services remains one of the dirtiest energy users. They emphasized that the scientific community is warning against our continued reliance on energy technologies in the past, which could put our future in grave danger, and that our world is headed for trouble due to climate change and our reliance to dirty sources of energy. Our company is both a large Amazon.com customer, as well as being a large seller on Amazon.com, and we want them to take responsibility to become a better planetary corporate citizen. Apple received an F rating years ago from Greenpeace, and because of public pressure, has now received an A+ rating, and produces 94% of its power from renewable sources. So corporate change is possible if Amazon.com simply steps up to the plate and is willing to spend some of its massive profits on protecting the future of our planetary environment, because lack of doing so will be sawing off the branch they sit on.

Open internet is the free speech topic of our time.

Over a year after a massive building collapse in Bangladesh killed over 1,100 people and injured countless others, 15 major retailers still haven't done their part to take care of survivors and families.

The Washington Post reported huge news: “NARAL successfully lobbies Google to take down deceptive pregnancy center ads.” We discovered that if you Googled “abortion clinic,” ads funded by anti-choice crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs) appeared 79 percent of the time. CPCs don’t provide or refer for abortion care, and they shouldn’t trick women into thinking that they do. Google’s leadership in removing the majority of these ads is a victory for truth in advertising. Countless women will be spared lies and shaming tactics intended to stop them from making their own decisions based on real medical advice. It won’t be long before CPCs and their supporters go after Google for making this change because deceptive ads are one of the primary ways they lure women into their doors. That’s why we’re organizing a thank-you letter to show Google executives they did the right thing and encourage them to stand strong against pressure from our opponents.

On their website, this is what "Union Made" says about what their name means: "The name 'Union Made' was conceived around the notion of well-made and aesthetically classic goods. It also conveys what we are about: collaborating, uniting and making things together. While some of what we sell does come from union shops, that's a happy coincidence. We are interested in well-made American style and aesthetically classic goods, many of which are made in the United States, but we're not affiliated with any unions, other than the unions, civil and otherwise, that tie us all together." They are misrepresenting the strong brand that working men and women have built in America by selling many products that are made in sweat shops and by workers who are paid incredibly low wages and work in terrible, dangerous working conditions. "Union Made," change your name and stop calling yourself a union when you refuse to actually act like one.

Last week the Democratic Governors Association filed a lawsuit, on behalf of consultants, to eviscerate CT's laws making it illegal for independent expenditure to be coordinated with campaigns. This lawsuit, if successful, will allow the Koch Brothers and their consultants to coordinate--making existing campaign finance restrictions obsolete.

When I’m buying food at Safeway, I should be able to make an informed choice. But Safeway doesn’t label its products that contain genetically modified ingredients, or GMOs. While more research needs to be done to understand the full impact of GMOs, they are not without risk. For example, GMOs are responsible for a 400 million pound increase in pesticide use in the United States between 1995 and 2011 [1]. And GMOs don’t undergo independent safety testing before they’re allowed onto the market, which the American Medical Association recommends [2]. It’s time for Safeway to follow the lead of other grocery chains like Whole Foods and label GMOs in its store-brand products so that we can decide for ourselves whether or not we want to eat GMOs.

When a buyer asks a post-sale question, eBay deceptively opens a case for the buyer, and the seller will get a defect unfairly even after the seller resolves the case to the buyer’s satisfaction. One Top-Rated Seller has 417 resolved cases. Under proposed new Seller Performance Standards, he will be punished with 417 defects even though buyers were completely happy. His defect rate will be below eBay's minimum standards for selling on eBay. eBay’s unfair and deceptive new Seller Performance Standards will affect over 25 million sellers. Many Top Rated Sellers will be punished and fall below eBay's new minimum standards, and their selling privileges will be restricted or limited after November 20, 2014.

Philadelphia is renegotiating a "franchise" deal to let Comcast, headquartered right here in Philly, sell cable in our neighborhoods for another 15 years. While our cable and Internet rates go up, our city struggles with big budget cuts - and Comcast's taxes are less than half the average of what other Pennsylvania businesses pay. With this new franchise, we have a once-in-a-generation chance to lower our rates, ensure quality, affordable Internet service for poor and working folks, and to get Comcast to pay its fair share to the city that gives it so much.
