Corporate fronts: inside the anti-environmental movement

Article Abstract:

Ranching, logging, oil and other business interests have formed front organizations to re-educate the public about land use and turn their sentiments against so-called radical environmentalists. These organizations pose as grass-roots movements but receive their funding from industry and their political strategies from right-wing think tanks. Groups such as the National Wetlands Coalition, the Council for Solid Waste Solutions and other so called 'wise-use' groups are fronts for developers and exploiters.
