I still boycott BP, to this day. But I am probably a minority. In some areas in Florida, they purchased most gas stations after the spill happened, so it is sometime not easy to avoid them.
- the_pwner224 6y agoI didn't bother boycotting BP because I assumed that all the big oil companies are similarly corrupt, put profit over the environment to the same degree, cover up their incidents, etc. BP is just the one that got unlucky and had a PR disaster about it. The article mentioned above implies that Corexit is commonly used - so nothing special about BP here. > Corexit is a go-to product for energy companies like BP when they’re dealing with massive spills. Wikipedia shows that BP's usage was by a very wide margin the largest use of Corexit, so I suppose I'm going to stop buying BP too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corexit#Use https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corexit#Use
- vaccinator 6y agoIt wasn't a huge PR mess for no reason...
