This went down rather badly with pretty much all of the staff, and didn't last very long.
Their whole approach is "We know what's best for you, whether you agree with that that or not".

I did LOL a bit at the political compass in Carl's post above, which seems to suggest that Greenism is on the libertarian left. There is absolutely no way it can be, when its key tenets would inevitably require banning a lot of things in order to achieve widespread adoption of Greenie practices. They may have nice warm libertarian feelings towards their fellow person, but as soon as they're confronted with an opportunity to put their ideas into practice, they get as authoritarian as every proper left wing government in history.
