SW: →Peter Sandman and EDF: fix link
"Fred Krupp calls when he thinks I might be helpful, as do his communications and project staff people," Sandman says. "It isn't unusual for me to have just one or two telephone conversations about a particular project. There are relatively few projects over the years that I worked on as a major day-in-and-day-out player."
EDF prides itself on "devising solutions that work--both environmentally and economically" and its willingness to "seek out industry leaders to help solve problems. We must enter into new alliances with new partners," it says. "Environmentalists must cooperate as well as oppose, listen as well as preach." This philosophy, which resembles the ideology of right-wing anti-environmental groups such as the [[Competitive Enterprise Institute]], helps explain why EDF has received funding from the far-right [[Lynde & and Harry Bradley Foundation]].
A famous--and infamous--example of EDF's pro-business approach occurred in 1990, when [[McDonald's]] corporation faced a growing campaign, coordinated by the Citizens Clearinghouse on Hazardous Wastes, against its of ozone-destroying styrofoam clamshell packaging.
