Dear all, I am having a somewhat difficult time over here in Germany where I started a job "saving the earth". But, I am having a little debate now about whom to approach for funding - I deeply belief that an organization fighting climate change and trying to create a better world should NOT accept funding from coal burning energy firms or other industry that clearly do not have our goal in mind when sponsoring us - but the improvement of their own image - green washing. The argument is that by accepting money we have money that we need to be able to work. To me, such organizations completely loose credibility, and I lose my trust and respect for them. Please, if you have good arguments for or against accepting money from environmentally unfriendly corporations, then send me some links, information, support, as all I have is my gut feeling at the moment. And that is not so good. Thanks, Maiken
