The Sustainable Markets Foundation is behind much of the supposedly organic opposition to natural gas development in upstate New York and is using money from the Park Foundation and the Rockefellers to fund the effort with management and coordinative help from Walter Hang.

Why would a non-profit organization spending $4 million per year to “promote environmental protection, energy efficiency, consumer protection, health and safety and good government” not have a website? How can an institution with such a broad mission reach people in our high-tech world where social media is king not have an internet presence? It’s strange, indeed, but that is the stated purpose of a group called the Sustainable Markets Foundation and, yet, it has no website, no Facebook page, no Twitter account or much of anything else in the way of a media presence. How can this be? Could it have another purpose? And, what about that strange name?
