Nike
<http://switchboard.nrdc.org/blogs/paltman/media/Nike%20US%20Chamber%20State
ment1.pdf>  announces it is resigning from the US Chamber Board of
Directors.

I guess the Chamber's
<http://switchboard.nrdc.org/blogs/paltman/us_chamber_calls_for_global_po.ht
ml>  desperate attempt to persuade the public and its members of an
alternative reality in which the Chamber champions climate legislation
didn't work. Nike's announcement, coming on the heels of the US Chamber's
newest push to justify its climate position, shows that the Chamber will
have to do a lot more than repackage their oppositionist stance if they want
to stop the bleeding. The fact is that there are scores of major US
companies that want clean energy and climate policy, and the Chamber either
has to represent those views or lose its voice completely on this isse.

Nike is a member of Business for Innovative Climate and Energy Policy (BICEP
<http://www.ceres.org/bicep> ), a business coalition that supports federal
clean energy and climate policy
