What Does It Prove?

According to their 990 form Greenpeace claimed $38,363, 322 dollars in direct public support for 2007. From May 8th to May 10th the new Star Trek Movie made $75,204,289 according to boxofficemojo.com. That is a difference of nearly 37 million dollars in favor of Star Trek/Paramount Pictures in 363 fewer days. I chose Greenpeace because they are a large non profit that most people have heard of, but I’m sure filling in the blank with another organisation would illustrate a similar or even more dramatic divide.

They say you can use statistics to prove just about anything, so… what does it prove?

  1. Maybe it proves that Greenpeace isn’t charging enough for tickets?
