Boycott Gaiam     14-Oct-09 06:10 pm    
Capitalist? Environmentalist? Who cares? LOL......

What's unambiguous is Gaiam's contempt for its shareholders and loyal customers who continue to be misled by executive management, namely Jirka Rysavy (founder & Chairman) and Lynn Powers (CEO), that Gaiam is a green company and that its resources are being invested towards producing sustainable green products. Please tell me how Gaiam in good conscience continues to sell PVC yoga mats and has sold 5 million PVC yoga mats over the last 10 years? PROFITS!!!! Take away the PVC yoga mat sales, the fit ball and yes, its "cheap" H2O bottle and Gaiam's performance and its share value would disappear over night.

Go hang-out with the folks at Patagonia and see how they run their company. How does Patagonia measure up to its green mission? Gaiam's executive management is inept, dishonest and its mission driven agenda is simply pr hooha. There are many companies that walk their talk and produce products similar to Gaiam's. Make the right choice and boycott Gaiam.
