MotorOil - PasokOil | Go Shell - Go to hell | No way Norway! Guinea pigs | Victory! | Energy from the sun 12 years Chernobyl | Shell pulls out Boycott lists | Animal testing 1) Boycott Lists! Boycott
lists! We who surf the web can ask others in other chat rooms, on our web sites, on boards and news groups if they are interested in receiving the list and joining the e-mail group. If we ask those we contact to do the same and they ask others and so forth, eventually a world-wide boycott could effectively cut into the profits of the multinationals. Once they see their profits fall significantly they will want to increase their profits by becoming more "Earth friendly". Unfortunately,
difficulty in attracting a large enough group of
boycotters is not the only problem. It seems most of
these multinationals are not as much competitors as they
are conspirators. For example one major oil company
executive said "We're more likely to see other
companies as collaborators rather than adversaries...We
aren't so much competing with each other as we are
competing with the earth"...see
(www.igc.org/trac/corner/worldnews/other/229.html). This
is the type of thinking we are up against. Since we are
the defenders of the Earth it is us they are competing
against in determining the condition of the Earth. We all
know what the condition of Earth will be if the
multinationals continue to have their way.
The lists: Global
Warming: 2. Shell Oil: In addition to being a major source of greenhouse gases through the burning of gasoline, Shell oil left Nigeria with its forests and waters polluted with oil. Information obtained from: www.igc.org/trac/gallery/shell/boycottshell.html 3. Chevron: In addition to being a major source of greenhouse gases through the burning of gasoline and other oil products, Chevron allegedly funds "anti environment" front groups. Information obtained from: www.ran.org/ran/what_you/boycott.html 4. All other oil companies also are major sources of greenhouse gases. It is recommended that we boycott all gasoline stations related to these companies and their oil products and instead buy from British Petroleum (BP) because BP has recently pledged to cut its greenhouse gases by 10% and to research and develop alternative forms of energy. This information was obtained from www.eDF.ORG/pubs/EDF-letter/1998/Nov/a_BP.html Others: I found many boycotts on the web. The important thing for us to do is to concentrate on a few rather than on many different ones so that we may have more of an impact. Of course the choice is yours. For more information please visit the above sites or e-mail Ray. End the destruction of rain forests world-wide. This includes the temperate rain forests in Canada and Russia; and the tropical rain forests in South America and Asia. The great forests are the lungs of our Earth. Without them life could not exist. We hope 1999 becomes a better year for our cousins the trees! Some of the oil companies listed on the first list such as Texaco and Shell would be included here due to their environmental damage to the forests. Unocal (Union 76 stations) now added and it is recommended that we purchase our oil products ( if we must purchase them) from British Petroleum. Home Depot - the largest home improvement stores in the world of products from old growth forests. It is a major force in the destruction of the world's last old growth forests from British Columbia to the Amazon. See web site: www.ran.org/ran/special/homedepot/intro.html Mitsubishi Corporation, Macmillan Bloedel, Ltd. and Georgia- Pacific Corporation - three of the world's worst destroyers of forest. Some of Mitsubishi's other companies include Mitsubishi automobiles, Mitsubishi electronic equipment, Kirin beer, and Nikon camera equipment, see web site: www.ran.org/ran_campaigns/mitsubishi To learn
