It sounds noble: a cosmetics company promises that if you buy one of its products, a portion of the sale will go toward “the fight against breast cancer.” But what if that cosmetic contains chemicals that might actually increase your risk of developing the disease? ..... http://www.thinkbeforeyoupink.org/Pages/CosmeticCompanies.html and ---------------------------------------------------- New York Times Ad http://www.thinkbeforeyoupink.org/PDF/NYTimesAd.pdf It sounds noble: Buy this vacuum cleaner and Eureka will give a dollar to a breast cancer organization. But wait. A dollar gift on a $200 purchase is less than one percent— and Eureka caps its annual contribution from the sales at $250,000. Is the company spending more on its “Clean for the Cure” ads than it’s donating to the cause? It’s not just Eureka. American Express donates a penny per transaction when you “Charge for the Cure.” BMW kicks in a buck per mile when you test-drive its cars, which produce chemical compounds linked to breast cancer. Avon lipstick, Yoplait yogurt—the list goes on and on. During Breast Cancer Awareness Month (October), pink-ribbon promotions are everywhere. Breast Cancer Action urges you to “think before you pink.” Will your purchase make a difference? Or is the company exploiting breast cancer to boost profits? Preventing, curing, and guaranteeing ====================================quality treatment for breast cancer will require real change—and not the kind you carry in your pocket.
