Scotts generosity

m* s*

I have been following the comments about the Scotts company's donation
to the USBG. By accepting a donation from a company does not imply that
you endorse the products sold by the company. You are simply
acknowledging an act of good will given to a worthwhile pursuit.We need
to applaud good actions and not mix them with the other questionable
pursuits. As one of my mentors said concerning donations " It's all
tainted money, but it taint enough." I don't think that we can, with any
certainty, claim that a donation from a chemical manufacturer is
ethically wrong and a donation from a home improvement company is right.
Does the home improvement company sell Scotts products or
environmentally dangerous chemicals?
    I think the funding of Botanical Gardens is an appropriate use of
any money! Let's encourage these actions and continue to educate people
about environmental responsibility with these monies.

Sincerely,
Mark Slater
