Stop Esso Protests this Saturday

sinking | 30.11.2001 15:54

On Saturday 1st December, at hundreds of Esso garages across the UK, protestors will be asking motorists to join the boycott of Esso.

Stop Esso

Join the tens of thousands of people that are already refusing to buy fuel or groceries from Esso.

Why boycott Esso?
Sabotaging action on global warming
Esso has used its wealth and power to run a ten year campaign of dirty tricks to sabotage the Kyoto global warming treaty, the only international agreement to stop global warming. Because of Esso, US President Bush ditched the treaty.

UN scientists have confirmed that global warming - bringing with it floods, storms and droughts, is caused by burning oil, coal and gas. Over 160 governments agree. But, like the tobacco companies who denied smoking causes cancer, Esso denies burning oil causes global warming.

Esso made $17.7 bn in profits worldwide last year - the biggest ever profit for any company, but spent not one dollar on renewable energy. If anyone can afford to tackle global warming, it's Esso.
