No time frame was mentioned in the news coverage that I saw of the press
conference.  I've been having difficulties getting more information from 
Greenpeace Canada themselves, but when I do find out their methodology I'll 
report it.

In my opinion, referring to this media stunt as a "commercial" is not far from
the truth (although it was just a press conference).  The rhetoric and style
were typical snake-oil fare, and this is, after all, one way such groups 
raise contributions.
