“I've used Acme products for years. Their slingshots, rocket launchers, crowbars and pogo sticks are the best around. And don't forget their dynamite! I buy everything from Acme.” Trust ACME for all your road-runner catching needs. Wile E. Coyote ACME spokescoyote

Boycott ACME! A baby turtle breaks free from its egg, catching its first glimpse of its first sunrise. It pauses a moment to rest, unaware of the danger that lies so close to it. As the tide comes in, approaching the nest, it also approaches a small pile of metal - cesium. The water draws closer and closer, the turtle unsuspecting of the danger. Finally, the water touches the cesium and it EXPLODES, destroying even more of an endangered species. Why does this happen? One name: Acme.
