"All of which raises the question: is Avaaz quietly operating within a world of ulterior political motives and tainted corporate interests? Is it hoping to play on the public's ignorance of what actually goes on in the food and farming sector and thus become a vector of misinformation and weighted political propaganda?"
"According to Avaaz, this project is designed by "farmers who resist by preserving seeds in seed banks and barns around the world." The Farmers Seed Network bringing together in France most organizations of "farmers" working on Farmer seeds never asked Avaaz for anything and have never heard about an organization of small farmers in the world that could conceive such a project."

"The terms “greenwash” and “corporate front group” seem inadequate to describe Conservation International. Perhaps, as the Papua New Guinean critique puts it, Conservation International is “no more and no less a ‘non government' organisation than is General Electric or Microsoft.” Perhaps it is time to consider a global campaign to expose this ‘green' giant's true colours and put a stop to its operations."

"This film will dispel the green image of the WWF however. Behind the organisation’s eco-façade, the documentary maker uncovered explosive stories from all around the world. This documentary reveals the secrets of the WWF. It is a journey into the heart of the green empire that will hopefully shatter public faith in such so-called conservation groups forever."

“It is unlikely that any other charitable organisation that depends on public support operates with such little accountability and in such secrecy as WWF…. It is easier to penetrate the CIA. And when WWF has been caught in embarrassing conducts it has engaged in damage control and cover-ups of the kind that might be expected from a company whose products have caused injury to consumers and the environment.”

"It quickly became clear that this was greenwashing for the genetically modified soybean marketers," says one attendee, referring to the practice of deceptively marketing a product as environmentally friendly. When a few Europeans wanted to talk about the dangers of the herbicide glyphosate, they were quickly silenced. "The Americans' killer argument was that they were 'technologically neutral.'"
