Last year Starbuck's signed a distribution agreement with Pepsi to increase distribution points from 5,000 to 100,000. When Starbuck's reaches the $10 million donation goal, they will have made $292 million, while consumers will have spent $360 million...what a racket. hey there Sara–how’s it going?

Apparently the CEO and founders have made a fortune off this bottled water that is a) not even anything more than filtered tap water b) bad for the environment to produce and ship and c) very little of the revenues actually go to the kids. We'd be better off sending the ethos water to the kids, not buying it. (BTW What up Brian! Thanks for the comments!) Have you all seen the ethos water scam mock website?

Places like Starbuck's try and convince us we are saving the world by drinking $1.80 water that costs them $.30 to make -that includes the $.05 to charity... Celebrities tell us that we need to save the planet while they run around in jets...I can go on and on, but the bottom line is we are turning into a society of fat, lazy decadents who will care for there poor and helpless only enough to make themselves not feel guilty...which for some is not at all.

It's unfortunate that we need to be shocked to act - and even then, we still don't always act. I think the more we look the more we are going to find these sorts of comparisons.
