Greenpeace Activists Shut Down BP Stations in London
----------------------------------------------------



Activists with Greenpeace have shut down BP gas stations across the city
of London. The activists shut off power to the stations and then put up
signs reading "Closed: Moving Beyond Petroleum."

John Sauven, executive director of Greenpeace in Britain: "Greenpeace
has today shut fifty garages in London. We want BP to change their
strategy, not just their boss. They promised years ago to move beyond
petroleum, and what they need to do today is to decide that that’s
exactly what they’re going to do."
