It takes money to run any organization, especially ones that, by
necessity, are forced to work through political lobbying. There are a
_lot_ of scam non-profits in existence, but the larger environmental and
consumer concerns don't tend to be among them. But keep your money in
your wallet where you feel it's safest.
One thing I've learned from years of watching (and occasionally
participating in) the arguments from either side is that people believe
what they want to believe. Seldom are they swayed by either logical
argument or scientific fact. Whether it's political, economic,
environmental, social issues, doesn't matter. Most disturbing are the
folks that are incapable of thinking for themselves. They wake up in
the morning and brand themselves "liberal" or "conservative" and then
they argue the party line, by rote, to their death. Like damned
lemmings.
