Chairman and CEO's Quote Regarding Climate Change:

“When we confront the enormity and complexity of global climate change, the lesson learned should be that there’s not one problem; there’s a universe of them, and they are ever changing.  And there’s not one solution; there are as many solutions as there are problems.  Those of us who have tried to exercise leadership and responsibility in our stewardship of the environment don’t have all the solutions, but we have some, and we think they’re good ones.  Over the next decade we can reduce greenhouse gases in real terms, not illusionary ones.  As a privately held family company, I will tell you we will not abdicate our ethical responsibility to the environment.”
