Ya beat me to it Pakis. Was just about to post. 

Sadly its a fake group...no teeth to it at all. 

If bayer, largest neonic share holder in the world is at the helm then its a waste of tome & another pr stunt. See here:

"Allen Scarborough, the pesticide board’s vice chairman, an entomologist and an employee of Bayer"

V.C. own words:
 "says there is no apparent cause for alarm about the chemicals" !! 

So yea....another sad day for NC.
