I think it's time that business stick to their OWN business. And stay out of politics altogether. But being so, this US Trucker will support his neighbor (Canada) and boycott Chiquita's (products) altogether. And I also support the Canadian Pipeline to us in the US.

This environmental quackery goes on, even though we see less of this nonsense daily. Oil is by far the best source of energy, we will never run out of it (it has nothing whatever to do with fossils)and if we were smart, we'd use it in more applications. We need to stop the Enviro crowd from forcing up our fuel prices.

It seems like a noble but misguided effort on the part of Chiquita. Tarsands oll is without a reasonable doubt, harmful to all of us. It is an egregious polluter. The impact of carbon emissions is upon us now and getting more harmful every day. There are few credible people left who would argue that global warming from carbon emissions is not the root cause of accelerated climate change that is affecting the entire planet negatively. On the other side of the coin is North Americans buying oil from politically unstable countries, resulting in wars and the resultant costs and human deaths/injuries. And of course, the Tarsands bring economic prosperity to Alberta and Canada as a whole - a good thing. But the trucker at the fuel pump has no way of knowing the source of their diesel fuel. Perhaps an awareness campaign would have been a better way of making the point - tractor-trailers are rolling billboards - trailer wraps, bumper stickers etc that would inform the public about the dirty Alberta oil. And there are conservation actions that truckers can take right now to reduce fossil/tarsands oil - aerodynamics, idling reduction, trip/route planning, lower road speeds and much more. Or, better still, insist on the government making biodiesel available - it is a clean burning direct replacement for dirty fossil oil that is derived from plants. And these plants can be grown here in North America. High quality biodiesel which is a direct replacement for conventional diesel, which has been tested in Canada for more than a decade now successfully, adapted for cold weather use is available here and now. It must still be blended with conventional diesel, but it would reduce our dependance greatly. The Tarsands are trying to improve their bad image. But covering up the problem doesn't make it go away. And from what I know, they seem to be working diligently on methods of making their processes less damaging to our planet. Our government should be taking steps to force them to clean their act up before we offer the product to the world. Or, our government could be purchasing offsetting carbon credits that would go carbon reduction projects elsewhere, thereby mitigating the net effect. But they don't. Instead, a lot of oil companies and others in Alberta are getting richer and richer every day - at the expense of the planet. And the Harper government seems to support all of this - at the expense of our failing planet. Bravo Chiquita - nice try! You've made people think about a very serious global issue.

Hi ! can they ban there chemical ripping process or there chemical ripping retarder ?? so common that green planet stuff is becoming a tad bit too far , don't get me wrong I take care of the planet as much as I can but there is a limit .
