I dunno either. I tried not to give the impression in this diary I was a convinced Hulotist (?). He's a businessman as well as an activist. He runs a foundation that sells (or a subsidiary does, I'm not sure), "Ushuaïa" products (shampoo and stuff) that are supposed to be environmentally sound. And there's the question I barely touched on, that, in running this campaign, he's greatly raising his personal profile and increasing his popularity as a media figure. So right... I dunno!

He does not own the Ushuaïa brand, his TV channel TF1 does. And the products aren't that environmentally sound anyway.

Worse is that his show used to be sponsorised by Rhône Poulenc, one of France's worst polluters...

I didn't know the brand belonged to TF1, thanks for the info. Yes, I do remember Rhöne-Poulenc sponsorship screens before the show at one time...
