11 Votes

Here is a quick list taken from Wikipedia of all the products BP makes. (Castrol Oil is one of them–stop buying Castrol) Don’t get fooled.
Know exactly what names and aliases this ugly corporation uses to push
its products on US, the Citizens of the Earth. We will not allow this
level of stupidity to continue.

If your corporation ruins OUR Ocean, then WE remove your corporation from the planet. BP is a disease on the Earth. Stand up and do your part to heal the Earth of this sickness. Boycott BP.

is only available through a self service machine.

In the Netherlands BP is opening unmanned stations with no shops or employees. these stations are called BP Express.^[81] Some of these stations used to be ‘ordinary’ BP stations, some are new to the
BP network. Apart from these stations BP Express shopping does also
exist in the Netherlands.

Some BP Express sites around New Zealand and Australia that were
considered too small to be upgraded to BP Connect were given the option
to change to BP 2go others were downgraded to BP Shop. Staff at some BP
2go sites wear a different style of uniform to the rest of the BP
