Wait--yes, I do. No! No, I don't!
The fact that wealthy multinational corporations, not the least of them the oil and natural gas companies, contribute millions of dollars to partially or entirely fund environmental restoration projects means that these projects will function as a high-budget, glamourous PR stunt with minimal environmental impact. Projects funded will be high in educational content and low in physical environmental remediation, and even lower in advocating for effective policy change to protect the environment.
The corporate contributers' influence will be mostly invisible--that is, it will be reflected in what is not shown. It will, at times, also be visible in the form of donor honorarium and product placement. In all ways, projects funded by major corporate entities will reflect their interests.
Non-profits funded by corporations, which are the direct beneficiaries of capitalism, will never effect environmental benefits, given that capitalism is in direct, violent and unavoidable conflict with the health of the planet.
