"Non-profit" means that all the profits go into salaries plus payments to accountants to keep the non-profit status. It also means that our tax dollars are spent paying IRS employees to deal with complicated non-profit tax rules.

The "Environmental Working Group" earns its income by appealing to the sentiments and fears of people rather than providing education about actual pesticide law and practices.
