Workshop Challenge Courtesy of "MoveOn.org" Dear American Patriot: Home
Depot is spending gobs of money advertising itself as pro-environment.1
But it advertises on Fox, which consistently deceives the public about the
existence of global warming.2 We've teamed up with the Sierra
Club and others, asking Home Depot to pull their ads from Fox.
Email Ron Jarvis, Home Depot V.P. of Environmental
Innovation, at
