If you’re a grocery retailer, especially a convenience store, refusing to sell bottled water will lead to an immediate and severe reduction to your income stream.  Accordingly, I’d like to extend my kudos to whomever wrote this note on his refrigerator.  That’s bravery; that’s integrity.

But sadly, he finds himself submersed in one of hundreds of different business sectors in which honestly and decency is actually a considerable handicap.

Last year, PepsiCo earned $8.9 billion on $86 billion in revenue, and every single one of their customers is now (at least) a little bit unhealthier than he was the year before.  In addition to Aquafina, did the retailer featured in the meme get rid of all his sodas and salty, sugary poison, the manufacturing (not to mention consumption) of which is slowly but steadily destroying the planet and its inhabitants?

I don’t wish to sound mean, but maybe finding a truly honest career is not such a bad idea.

ExxonMobil Lowering Carbon Emissions? Sure.

Exxon: We’re investing in innovative technologies to reduce carbon emissions while supporting the needs of heavy industry.

As a marketing consultant, here’s my advice to Exxon:

Keep your money in your pockets.  There is no conceivable investment in public relations that will convince us, as stupid as we may be as a nation, that you care a damn about the health of our planet’s environment, or about the wellbeing of life on Earth.

Gallup Disappears into Ignominy

Until this announcement, I think anyone would have said that Gallup, Inc., founded in 1935, had a solid reputation for honesty and integrity.

Yesterday, all that vanished in the blink of an eye.

Imagine you’re one of about 2000 employees located in one of about 35 offices around the world, including New York City, London, Berlin, Sydney, Singapore, and Abu Dhabi.  How sickened would you be?

Trump Digs Coal

From “The Other 98”

Trump now wants Americans to believe that greenhouse gases don’t endanger human life, a claim that flies in the face of virtually every scientist on Earth. His administration just erased the EPA’s longstanding “endangerment finding,” the scientific and legal cornerstone that said carbon pollution warms the planet and harms human health. Without it, the EPA can no longer regulate greenhouse gases from factories, cars, or power plants, effectively stripping the federal government of its ability to combat climate change.

Trump is nothing if not predictable and consistent in his policies that fly into the teeth of science and cause grievous harm to our health.

Since science recognize vacci nations as safe and effective, why not appoint an anti-vaxxer to head up the Department of Health and Human Services?

Coal is by far the most toxic source of energy, so guess what Trump supports.
