List All BP Products So We Can See What To Boycott.
If I am missing any below please add to the list. The BP list as I know it is:

  • BP Gas Stations
  • AM PM Mini Markets
  • ARCO Gas Stations
  • Castro Motor Oil and Lubricants
  • BP Connect Stores

1. Um...that's Castrol Motor Oil...
It's BP, not CP.

3. People can always make an error just like the mistake you made about my not typing CP.

No where did I type CP. But thanks for pointing out my error on the motor oil.

2. Easy to do for me since there are no BP stations where I live
and I don't use Castrol.

How about is the oil pumped by BP kept separate from all other pumped oil or is it mixed together with others and then refined and made into lot's of kinds of gasoline. Hard to tell what to boycott then.

Ultimately, with boycotts against such huge companies it is more about making the individual feel good about their choice and doesn't impact the company much. Consider Exonn, whose earning for the first 3 months of 2010 were $6.3 billion, up from $3.5 billion in the same period last year.

4. Boycott Exxon too
Esso has done more than any other company to stop the world from tackling climate change.

For over a decade, it has tried to sabotage international climate change negotiations and block agreements that would lead to greenhouse gas emissions reductions.

Esso also funds groups to produce junk science that denies climate change and supports the climate sceptics, delaying the action that's so urgently needed on climate change.

Esso is also a member of Arctic Power, the lobby group trying to open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to drilling.

Infact boycott all oil companies.

5. "Infact boycott all oil companies." - YAY, boycott grocery stores too!
Because they use trucks that use fuel/oil to bring products to the store! Boycott them umtil they agree to use coal-fired steam-powered vehicles!


Yay, you're a genius!

Grow your own veggies and keep chickens too. :thumbsup:

One day you might not have much choice on the subject so dealing with it now may help you.

edit : buy a bicycle as well.

8. other bp products
other products to boycott are:
BP Express,
BP Shop,
BP 2GO,
no just ARCO gas stations, but retail products with that brand name,
Air BP
and BP Shipping. Many of these are not in the US alone.


I realize some items may be redundant, just trying to add some insight.
