Remember back in 1983 when I was the starting quarterback for the Washington Redskins and we beat the Miami Dolphins 27-17 in Super Bowl XVII? Do you remember?
No-- of course you don't because I was never the starting quarterback for the Washington Redskins and I did not win the Super Bowl. That's merely an example of me taking credit for something I did not do. Just like Greenpeace is doing now. Just like I suggested they would do when I blogged about this on July 16. Low and behold on July 25 there's a Greenpeace blog attempting to take credit for changes in supermarket sustainability programs that they had nothing to do with. And here's a post on The Daily Green today that congratulates Greenpeace for their efforts.
Let's review. Shall we?
Ahold USA's latest seafood sustainability efforts (Giant food, Stop & Shop etc) are NOT a result of Greenpeace's non-science based, misguided campaign.
How do I know that?
They said so. In IntraFish the senior seafood buyer for Stop & Shop and Giant is quoted as saying, "None of this is in reaction to the Greenpeace retailer rankings. These decisions were made as a result of the advice we received from the New England Aquarium."
Which part of --"none of this is in reaction to Greenpeace's retailers rankings"-- did the environmental activist community misunderstand?
While you ponder that I'm going to go back to polishing my Super Bowl ring.
