From a sustainable angle, once smaller companies are bought by bigger ones, you are now not only funding the success of your beloved “small” brand but also the advancement of its parent company, which may care little, if any, for the planet.

Welcome to Capitalism at its finest!

This is horrible and unfortunately seems to be the norm these days. Soon there will be no more “little guy”!

“Can no one be happy with their current success and not constantly insist on growing bigger and bigger and bigger?”

I agree that some companies seem to take this to the extreme and just don’t know when to say when. I think it’s unfortunate for all the small businesses out there that have to suffer because of this.

I find it hard to imagine that they would want to join up with Clorox to try and expand their customer base since you can already find Burt’s Bees is nearly every bookstore and pharmacy all over the country.

NO you are not the only one to be grossed out by such an acquisition. Is it a coincidence that Burt’s Bees sold out right at the time BEE MOVIE came out? I think not. Ha.

Yeah I had several friends buzzing about it. It’s a stinging blow to all of us who like their tingly lip glosses.
