I commend Haans for having the courage to ignore PC in this situation  and
"tell it like it is." All he is asking is that these organizations  simply
come out publicly against Scotts --  the company that has  long led the
charge for sterile, wildlife-deadly lawns grown with  (highly profitable)
pesticides and chemical fertilizers -- and  recommend a boycott of their products.
This would not take away valuable  resources from these orgs unquestionably
important projects. I must  add that it is stunning that Scott's had the
gall to market bird feed to attract  birds to yards that they have been
poisoning and then sell  pesticide-contaminated feed to boot.

Good birding.
