They all seem pretty ghastly; but according to http://www.mcspotlight.org/beyond/oil.html:
"The petroleum industry is described as the 'one of the world's least ethical industries' in a report by the Ethical Consumer Research Association, but obviously some are 'less bad' than others.
In the ECRA report, taking into account corporate responsibility and enviromental impact, they recommend as 'overall best buys' (read 'lesser of the evils');-
Murco (Murphy Oil Corp.), Anglo & Repsol (Repsol/Spanish State) and Q8 (Kuwaiti State)."
Only, none of them have outlets near me.  |
That may be true, and there are no good alternatives for gasoline. However, BP is the villain here and I can certainly never give them a dime again. This is our Chernobyl. A whole region of the country is affected directly, and as quickly as it enters the food chain, it will affect the whole US.
My heart breaks more every day when I hear the daily reports.
