Eco Products, Green event? Yet slaughtering dolphins and also whales in sanctuaries? NOT interested, thank you.

Dear Suzanna van der Voort and Marlize Albers,
I appreciate your support of ethical treatment of marine mammals and responsible management of ocean ecosystems. I also share with you the philosophy that voting with our money is an effective means of bringing about environmentally responsible corporate actions. However, I believe that your angry comments are misplaced and potentially offensive to Mr. Yokoyama, who is surely involved in being the change he wishes to see. Moreover, one government policy that we may disagree with does not void the potential environmental accomplishments of all persons, companies, or government bodies of Japan. If that were true, we could also discount the accomplishments of every nation since there are no ecological utopias. We need look no farther than the success Japan’s had in making hybrid cars popular in North America to understand the positive contributions of Japan toward the ability of us all to live more sustainably.
Sincerely,
Gavin Hudson
