Methyl Bromide
Since it is really another topic, I will keep this point brief.
I can't say what NRDC was doing on methyl bromide during the Clinton years because I wasn't here. Nor have I ever met Mary. But I can tell you that we are working to keep a lid on the stuff, as a quick Google search will confirm.
A few of many items for background:

This is a clever campaign about an important issue, but one that unfortunately takes us in the wrong direction. Yes, what you eat makes a big difference in your environmental footprint, but pitting Hybrids against Hummus as the solution to global warming isn't the answer.
In the end, this effort will likely produce more confusion and disempowerment than it does new vegetarians. There are other ways to skin this carrot.
