Greenpeace Activists Shut Down BP Stations in London

HeadlineJul 27, 2010

Activists with Greenpeace have shut down BP gas stations across the city of London. The activists shut off power to the stations and then put up signs reading “Closed: Moving Beyond Petroleum.”

John Sauven, executive director of Greenpeace in Britain: “Greenpeace has today shut fifty garages in London. We want BP to change their strategy, not just their boss. They promised years ago to move beyond petroleum, and what they need to do today is to decide that that’s exactly what they’re going to do.”
