I watched a news piece the other day about boycotting BP. What's interesting is this: the gas stations are owned by local small individuals (not BP). The gas that's sold may or may not come from BP. If you go elsewhere that gas could be from BP. Additionally if you buy anything that has plastic on it, in it or around it, it could very well be from BP.

I think, however, that boycotting the local BP station doesn't hurt BP but hurts that small independent owner.

Food for thought?
