Boycott Nike

"On July 17, 2007, Atlanta Falcons player Michael Vick was indicted in Virginia on charges involving animal fighting.  According to the criminal indictment against Vick, dogs were beaten, hung, electrocuted, starved and forced to fight other abused dogs while their owners and others bet thousands of dollars on which dog would either die or give up in agony first.  Vick personally carried out some of these killings, which took place as recently as this past April."

Please join me in pledging to boycott Nike until Nike terminates Vick's contract.  

Disclosure: I do not, nor does anyone I know, own Nike stock. If the stock drops, I have no intention of buying it.  I was a very occasional buyer of Nike products before deciding to boycott.

I attended Charlie Rose’s interview of Jeffrey Sachs at the 92nd Street Y on Tuesday night. Jeffrey Sachs, who is the Director of the Earth Institute at Columbia University and has been an economic advisor to governments in Latin America, Eastern Europe, the former Yugoslavia, the former Soviet Union, Asia, and Africa, as well as an author and the only academic to have been repeatedly ranked among the world's most influential people by Time magazine, is about as close to a household name as an economist can get.

"Putting a human face on global warming" is a slogan to be found circulating this year's 79th Academy Awards, the greenest Oscars ever. What with the trend of attendees shunning their limos for hybrid vehicles, saving the planet has become a priority in Hollywood. And since Oscar weekend is all about the parties, it is only appropriate that many of the stars could be found at The 3rd Annual Global Green Pre-Oscar Party, hosted by Global Green USA. Since all eyes are on Hollywood this famous weekend, GGU has decided to use the Academy Awards' international visibility as its (zero emission hybrid) vehicle for spreading the green gospel.
