But did you know that Trader Joes is also a stone-cold villain of the greenhouse gas variety? The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently announced that Trader Joes slacked off so much on refrigerator maintenance that it released a very large quantity of the greenhouse gas R-22 (better known as Freon) into the atmosphere.
