| Message | If you insist. Can you at least address the point that the best control on pollution is the power of the informed consumer. Just regulation by itself is disasterous for the environment. Companies will cheat, will find loopholes, will bribe officials etc. Only if the public is fully informed of what the latest environmental knowledge says, and can see what companies are doing will the environment be protected. Regulation forces companies into clandestine operations, whereas guidelines do not. |

| Message | That ideological pipe dream has already been addressed. Regulation and education must go side by side. offering an intermediate value on the proposal. |
