Greenpeace Turning Off BP Petrol Pumps in London

Live News. This just in. Greenpeace has launched an action today against BP by picketing 46 BP petrol stations in London and forcing them to (temporarily) turn off their pumps:
Forty-six BP petrol station's in central London were shut down today and re-branded with signs announcing: 'Closed. Moving beyond petroleum' and featuring the new, 'oilier' BP logo.

It's time for BP to make a real move beyond petroleum and end their involvement in environmentally destructive oil sources like Arctic oil exploration, deepwater drilling and the Canadian tar sands.

Let's make it clear that the time to move towards clean, renewable energy is now.

Our activists are literally turning off the pumps at BP's stations to make it clear that the risks of exploiting dangerous oil sources are too high - as the Deepwater Horizon disaster has made clear. Join them in demanding an Energy [R]evolution now!
