There's a huge difference between people who create/works with regulations and policy and treehugger who write "save trees" on pieces of papers.
Fair comment but these regulations came as a result of Greenpeace and the sponge bobs of the world forcing governments and industry to reform and change their ways

But for the environmental lobby no regulations would have happened. For example we are going to get tighter regulations on pipelines in BC which is in everyone's interest.
