BP petrol stations shut down by Greenpeace
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/n...reenpeace.html BP petrol stations have come under siege from Greenpeace activists who shut down fuel supplies in protest against the company's “reckless” pursuit of oil. By Heidi Blake Published: 7:33AM BST 27 Jul 2010 The environmentalists claimed to have stopped the fuel supply by flipping safety switches on the forecourts and then removing them to prevent the petrol stations from reopening. They also hoisted signs saying: “Closed. Moving beyond petroleum”. The protest is an attempt to urge Bob Dudley, who is expected to replace the outgoing BP chief executive Tony Hayward, to move away from "his predecessor's obsession with high risk, environmentally reckless sources of oil". BP has faced fury from environmentalists over its muddled handling of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. (snip) |

You can't use a bike because tires are made with oil. You can't wear rubber soled or plastic shoes either. They both are made with oil. Nothing but undyed wool and cotton is allowed because dyes are made with oil. Really they can't be allowed either since diesel and oil and gas and coal were used for energy to produce them. |
