Calling out American Rivers and Environmental Defense

I've said before on these webpages that I cannot stand environmental groups who offer free made-in-China stuffed animals and other stuff at tschotschkes for new or renewing members.

1. Given the cost of oil, etc., today, it's antienvironmental to be burning marine diesel to send this stuff here from China.

2. Given the pollution level of Chinese factories, it's antienvironmental to offer stuff like this, instead of American-made freebies.

3. And, along those lines, its anti-American economy to not look for American-made goodies.

4. And, it's lazy of enviro advocacy groups to not walk their actual and would-be members, at least the ones who aren't thinking that critically, through all of this.

Well, American Rivers and Environmental Defense, you've been called out.
