1. You’d think these idiots would just stay the hell out of issues irrelevant to their business. The point of pissing off huge chunks of a company’s potential market for no advantage whatsoever escapes me.

2. Weasels. Don’t have the guts to call a boycott a boycott.
   Hypocrites to boot. Haven’t seen any Avon pedlars peddalling door to door on their bicycles, have you?
   And, like a lot of other phony tree-huggers, if they were truly dedicated to “global environmental stewardship” they’d commit corporate (and individual) hari-kari.

3. Excellent letter and reply. I also sent Avon a letter. No reply yet. The jist of my letter was Avon produces and sells products whose only purposes are pride and vanity and they have the nerve to condemn an indusrty that supplies products essential to our economy and our very lives in northern climates. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.

4. Kudos to whoever sent that letter to Avon. At least they got a response, which is more than than I have received from the half dozen or so I have sent.

   It’s called “green-washing.”
   Frequently limited to using a WWF logo on the adverts and packaging.

6. Green = $. Not my $; yours.
   And whatever you’re doing, you’re wrong. Whatever I’m doing is right.
   Now reduce your energy consumption; I’ve got to drive around peddling ‘green’ products.

7. Just commented at The Monster:
   Avon stuff always seemed cheap, poor quality to me. Scents had a plastic smell about them. Stuff an eleven year old would buy for another eleven year old.
   They’re in way over their pointed corporate heads, commenting on the environment.

8. This is what you get when you hire a culture warrior for the PR dept. Bad Move. You run a business, you aren’t fighting a ideological war with your customers supplying the funding.
   Avon better issue a pink slip soon before their petroleum-reliant business sees sales go flat west of Rosedale.

9. Green is the new Light. Put it on your product label and eco-weenies will suck it up at twice the price.

10. Um, “We’re not against Alberta Oil sands except our reasoning given is against it.” That’s about it.

11. Check the oil sands boycott Facebook page for more information.

12. Give them a break. They are from Montreal after all….. (yes, that was sarcasm)

13. Meanwhile in Sydney,N.S., Mr.Harperal was demanding a hardline stance to reduce ghg at the Cancon summit…though that could be politics as usual,

14. I’m confused…..so Avon was for the oilsands before they were against them?

15. Well you see Eskimo they were against then for but not totally for untill they were against but not really committed to being against then they hugged trees. My head hurts MONSTER
