Thank you RT for publishing this story. As a Canadian it is good to know that other countries are trying to improve our behaviour concerning ecology. We here seldom hear how major western corporations are dealing with environmenta issues. I will be posting a link from this story on other information blogs. I would also like to congratulate Sakhalin Energy for their concern about the grey whale populations.
