But I wonder how well Clorox will keep BB's famous mission?

This faux green movement is making billions for giant corporations.

I like Becky's comment - Clorox is evil;

They are not buying them to improve their own image as much as they are wanting to change the products to FDA approved, full of dangerous chemicals, CRAP! They don't want any of us to be able to purchase anything healthy. Read Kevin Trudeau's Natural Cures They Don't Want You to Know!!!!!!!!

If they sold for over 900 million, they obviously weren't the "little company" that you (and so many others) were led to believe

Status: offline 		The thing I find funny is all the whining and the sense of betrayal felt by the lefty consumers even thought Bert's Bees has been selling in Wal-Mart for years.  Business and business corporations are created to make MONEY.

One thing I did notice this year was that you were starting to see generic bee's wax products similar to BB's for half the price. Without the patent protections, the brand could only grow so without a much bigger advertisement push that only a P&G or Clorox could provide . It seems to be a sound business decision for both parties.

Status: offline 		 Who ever said liberals were against making money?

There are tens of thousands of liberal/progress businesses that do quite well.

Google,Novartis,SmallDog Electronics,and progressive companies like them, inspire loyalty and give back the the community on many levels.

Liberalism and capitalism aren`t mutually exclusive.

It`s the companies that take advantage of ,and cheat the system,that are the problem.

It`s the Enrons,and businesses headquartered in the Cayman Islands,and the companies that pollute and raid pension funds,that give capitalism a bad name.
