"What does BP stand for? BOYCOTT POLLUTERS!"
"Show me what democracy looks like! This is what democracy looks like!"
Dozens joined New Jersey grassroots environmental groups to launch a national boycott of all BP gas stations until the ongoing oil spill disaster in the Gulf Shore region is contained, cleaned up, and the restoration of destroyed marshlands is underway.
Representatives from Edison Wetlands Association (EWA) were joined by U.S. Congressman Pallone's Office, Clean Ocean Action, NY/NJ Baykeeper, and other organizations in urging citizens nationwide to "BP: Boycott Polluters." Congressman Pallone issued a heartfelt statement which called on the Obama Administration and Department of the Interior to withdraw proposed plans for off-shore drilling along the Atlantic Coast.
