Environmentalists Horde Cash Like Scrooge Over Christmas

The Sierra Club released a "holiday" poem Tuesday attacking political opposition for being well funded, but during Christmas environmental groups historically act like Ebenezer Scrooge and rake in billions.

In 2012, The Sierra Club took in $97.8 million with its Foundation getting another $47.2 million. For example, despite Greenpeace celebrating "the holidays" by running a gift shop with environmentally-themed holiday cards, the organization uses the season to solicit donations of up to $200,000. These money-making methods allowed Greenpeace to spend $260 million dollars in 2011.

The same year, the Environmental Defense Fund listed $111.9 million in earnings, the Natural Resources Defense Council took in $98,7 million, the National Audubon Society took in $96.2 million, and the National Wildlife Federation got $84.7 million.

Enviro-GREEN products is a multibillion$$$ industry.
Enviro-research feeds the hype as they rake in the funding dollars as well.

And hipsters buy up the ‘green’ products and give to the ‘green’ causes HOOK,LINE AND SINKER.
Meanwhile, the ones that profit from the enviro-movement will do anything to keep their cashcow milking... including supporting prosecution for those that do not believe their scam.
It all about the money. money money money and the green market is not going anywhere as long as its a billion$ industry.

It is always about the money.

The more they claim to be doing good the more it is really about the money.

Create a problem, such as global warming, add massive amounts of fear that if the problem isn’t fixed the whole world will die, then tell people if they act now, by sending their tax deductable gift, the problem can be solved. Sounds like a money maker to me!

I heard the term virtue signalling, buying things to show you’re more ethical.
“Green” and “environmentally friendly” products apparently serve that purpose for today.

It takes a lot of money to rent Gulfstreams and limos to attend all those demonstrations.
