"this latest tree hugging is ":mach ado about nothing""

I disagree, one can't be too careful. Californians are nuts, they're concerned about lighter fluid on their bbq grills, and gasoline powered lawn mowers. The greenies were probably even in part responsible for GM's demise, with the fuel emission standards mandates.

The move to at least make an appearance of concern is the right one. Connacher's in a great position in that respect; unfortunately everyone's being painted with the same brush.
