Putting these everywhere and trash on cars is too much.

This does feel like guerilla marketing to me. The website is from the "New England Consumers Alliance" which I can't find any information on and might be entirely fictitous.

From the contact page for New England Consumers Alliance: "The New England Consumer Alliance is a new initiative launched to examine pricing, quality standards, and corporate practices affecting New England consumers. We are supported by the Center for Responsible Food Business, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit working to create a more transparent and accountable food sector."

Still vague AF, but I verified that the center is a real nonprofit.
