Planet Green reports how BP has purchased Google keywords to increase traffic to its site. The article quotes a BP spokesman as saying that BP hopes to direct people to its Web site to provide them with the best information possible on BP’s cleanup efforts.
The article goes on to discuss Leroy Stick who is doubtful about BP’s sincerity.
Leroy Stick is the pseudonym of the person (or people) behind the Twitter feed @BPGlobalPR that is skewering BP for what Leroy perceives as a failure to take the spill seriously.
From our view in San Diego we want to say again–please STAND FOR LESS resources used–with petroleum high on our list currently.
STAND FOR LESS is passionate about encouraging all of us to take a look at what we’re doing. What do we use? What could we use less of? How would that make our lives richer, and the world better?
This video from the NRDC looks below the surface of the Gulf of Mexico at the ecosystems that are being affected by the oil spill.
Why STAND FOR LESS resources used, including oil? Because human sustainability is directly connected to the ecosystems that support us. Please take a moment to watch this important video:
The ongoing, and depressing, news out of the Gulf of Mexico reminds us of the importance of keeping our oceans clean and healthy. It’s inspiring to see stories like this one, thanks SeaWorld SD!
We all know it, we live in (or near) one of the most beautiful cities on the planet. This is just a small reminder of that from local photographer Oliver Fluck. You can see more of his work at his website. All of this beauty is the best reminder possible of why to STAND FOR LESS resources used and especially wasted. Take a stand for San Diego, for yourself and for our children.
The San Diego Zoo, a new STAND FOR LESS partner, writes about their work with desert tortoises. Learn more at the zoo’s blog.
