We hear you loud and clear. Green Americans are even more concerned than ever about corporate wrong-doing right now.

So, we thought it would be a good time to highlight our online go-to source for tracking corporate wrongdoing – ResponsibleShopper.org. There, you can find the real scoop on what's going on with the world's major corporations, how you can put pressure on them to clean up their act, and green choices you can make to switch away from corporations that you decide don't deserve your business.

We've developed a short quiz, pulling together questions about all kinds of corporate malfeasance: use of sweatshop labor, human rights abuses, monopoly conspiracies, selling toxic products to an unsuspecting public, and more.

Test your knowledge of what's going on in corporate America right now. Some of the companies implicated in abusing people and the planet might surprise you.

Then, forward this e-mail to ten friends. Send it to your friends who are long-time “deep greens,†to remind them about Responsible Shopper, and send it to your friends who are just now beginning to notice the corruption in corporate America. Tell them Responsible Shopper can keep them informed of the worst corporate abuse, while Green America's other resources, like our publications (free when you join), and www.greenpages.org can help them go green.Here's a sample question: which major oil company faces trial in the US in April for human rights abuses in Nigeria? Find out by taking the quiz.

Thanks for all you do,Alisa GravitzExecutive DirectorGreen America

P.S. Don't forget to share this with your friends, and tell them to sign up for our e-mail newsletter, not only for more Responsible Shopper updates, but also for our regular green-discount guides, chances to win trips to our Green Festivals, regular green-living tips, and more. The more people saying, "I am a Green American," the more power we have collectively to change the way America – and the world – does business.
