NASCAR Sponsors In the Light!

I was perusing an article about some corporations that aren't "green" and noticed a few sponsors from our favored sport on the list!!  dOh!

It's noted that a majority of America's largest companies have become part of the "green" movement in the way they approach business these days.  Yet some despite their spin of green, from installing solar panels, using eco-friendly supplies or materials, they still have their issues with their products and pollution.

AOL Money did a snippet on the 10 most polluting companies and there are a few familiar names out there!

On the sad side of things, one of our major sport sponsors, Jeff Gordon's sponsor, DuPont, is No. 4 on the list of most pollutive (I think I just made up a word!) in the country!   They even had to fork out  in December of 2005 a settlement with the EPA of $16.5 million.  Ouch, that's about a year of hood sponsorship!!

No 6 on the list is Waste Management!
No 8, BP
GM was No. 10.

Ouch.  But then again, I'm thinking that solar car races just aren't that exhilarating to watch... never mind the cloudy days!!!
