I blogged here about Wal-Mart’s use of the Carbon Disclosure Project to evaluate their suppliers: http://beeractivist.wordpress.com/2007/09/25/wal-mart-to-consider-beer-suppliers-climate-impact/)

and here about Climate Counts:

What I’d really like to see though, is a comparison of the beer industry as a whole relative to other industries. My sense is that it would show that the beer industry is doing fairly well but it would be helpful to know so we can place our emphasis on those industries that need the most work.

Then I switched to Miller Lite, which according to ClimateCounts.org is the most climate-friendly of the major breweries. I wonder how the merger will affect the rankings?

What surprises me is that los of organisations give to both parties (albeit not equal amounts, as shown by your percentage figures). It seems strange.

Essentially it politicises every purchase one chooses to make from donor companies.
