We are a non-profit organization, The American Coalition Against Corporate Greed, launching the largest gas company boycott, in order to lower gas prices, and reduce foreign dependence on oil. We would appreciate your participation in this historic boycott. Our target is Shell Gas Company and Exxon Mobile. We know that the loss of profits will force the companies to reduce gas prices. Shell and Exxon Mobile are responsible for inflating the gas prices. However they would like you to believe that the Saudis are responsible for these high prices. So please join us and thousands of other Americans in our boycott and don't buy gas from Shell and Exxon.
Why Boycott Shell?
Since the Nigerian government hanged 9 environmental activists in 1995 for speaking out against exploitation by Royal Dutch/Shell and the Nigeria government, outrage has exploded worldwide. The tribunal which convicted the men was part of a joint effort by the government and Shell to suppress a growing movement among the Ogoni people: a movement for environmental justice, for recognition of their human rights and for economic justice...
Why Boycott Exxon-Mobil?
ExxonMobil is suing Greenpeace aimed at silencing us from exposing Exxon's corrupt environmental policies...
Here are five reasons why ExxonMobil is worse than other oil companies.
1. ExxonMobil tries to convince the public that global warming isn't happening even though ExxonMobil is one of its main causes. It spends millions of dollars on misleading propaganda every year.
2. ExxonMobil has played a leading role in sabotaging international attempts to stop global warming. It would rather sell more petrol than protect future generations.
3. ExxonMobil doesn't believe renewable energy has a future. "With no readily available economic alternatives on the horizon, fossil fuels will continue to supply most of the world's energy needs for the foreseeable future." --Lee Raymond, ExxonMobil CEO, 1997
4. ExxonMobil is the biggest oil company in the world - its profits totalled more than US$12 billion in 2000. If anyone can afford to help stop global warming it's ExxonMobil.
5. ExxonMobil was one of the main financial contributors to George Bush's election campaign. As soon as George Bush became president, he announced that the US would pull out of international agreements to stop global warming - exactly the position that ExxonMobil was promoting.
