6. Sandra Bullock rocks!

Way to go Sandra! I was so dismayed when I heard of her involvement with the greenwashers. Now that she has learned of their treachery she has done the right thing to remove her support of the organization.

Next step she needs to take is to get on board with one of the truly green organizations.

5. Agreed

It's the best PR she can have by just being herself and standing by her convictions.
