Environmental Groups Collaborate with Corporations

Environmental charities are trading in traditional tactics, like boycotts and protests, in favor of collaborating with corporations to achieve common goals, reports The New York Times.

For example, the Environmental Defense Fund joined with Tyson Foods to reduce the amount of antibiotics the company uses to spur growth in its chickens.

Says the charity’s president, Fred Krupp, “Our informal motto used to be ‘Sue the bastards.’ Now our official tagline is, ‘Finding ways that work.’”
