Can you be big and green? On the next Your Call we’ll discuss the future of organic companies that have been bought by bigger, conventional ones. Burt’s Bees was bought by Clorox, Colgate-Palmolive owns 84 percent of Tom’s of Maine and Wal-Mart is now the largest retailer of organic vegetables in the country. Can green grow and still mean anything? If you buy an organic juice made by Coke are you being responsible, or buying a lie? It’s Your Call with Rose Aguilar and you.
Guests:

Rinku Sen
Publisher of Colorlines, a national, multi-racial magazine devoted to the creativity and complexity of communities of color and winner of Utne Magazine’s Independent Press Award for General Excellence.
