Burger King, Darden Restaurants, and Wendy's - of course they are at the bottom. - How does eating abused and dead animals help the environment?

Infact it only cuts down more rainforest
Use more water
Make more air pollution
Wastes more land
Makes people more sick - from all the chemicals - making more people use more resources in form of medical aid.

-- If you want to help the environment decrease the demand of eating dead animals --

Personally I don't know how you can be an environmentalist and still dead animals (local or not). Its like saying you hate carbon effects from using cars, and than buying a Hummer. - constant contradiction!

Never in a million years did I expect to see Nike used as an example of social or environmental responsibility, but there is a first for everything.  All of the negative attention they have received over the years for employing and denying sweatshop labor must have negatively affect profits enough to catch the attention of their directors. While their motivations may be tainted, its a nice thought.

Somewhere they should mention that several of the companies evaluated are on Green Order's client list.
