Wired Magazine graded a few of the older environmental organizations in last month's issue regarding their willingness to embrace technology and capitalism.

A for Environmental Defense. B+ for NRDC. GreenPeace and Friends of the Earth looking at C's. The order seems right, but I think the rankings suffer from grade inflation --- especially at the lower end. If Friends of the Earth International and Greenpeace are pulling as high as C's and C+'s for embracing capitalism and technology, then China probably deserves a B-minus for embracing human rights and Hamas pulls its own gentlemen's C for embracing Israel.
