Boycott Seeks to Reform ExxonMobil's Environmental Actions

WASHINGTON, DC, July 13, 2005 (ENS) - Changing ExxonMobil’s corporate behavior is the mission of a new environmental campaign called ExxposeExxon.com. Calling for a boycott of the company's products, stocks, and workforce, campaigners from 12 of America’s largest public interest and environmental groups showed up outside ExxonMobil service stations nationwide Tuesday.

"For years, ExxonMobil has intentionally put its own profits above a clean environment and the health of America’s families. As a result, we are asking all Americans not to accept a new job at ExxonMobil, invest in the company, or to buy ExxonMobil’s gas and products," stated the ExxposeExxon coalition in a letter sent Tuesday to ExxonMobil CEO Lee Raymond at the company's Irving, Texas headquarters.

Lee Raymond is chairman and chief executive officer of ExxonMobil. Prior to the merger of Exxon and Mobil on November 30, 1999, he was chairman and chief executive officer of Exxon Corporation.

The ExxposeExxon campaign began campaigning yesterday in more than 50 cities, including Washington, DC, Austin, Boston, Chicago, Des Moines, Honolulu, New York, Minneapolis, and Philadelphia. The coalition will work through the Internet, through the news media, through door-to-door contact, bumper stickers and t-shirts.

The campaigners object because the corporation is lobbying Congress to open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) to drilling. They point out that ExxonMobil is the only oil company remaining in Arctic Power, the single-issue group lobbying to open the Arctic Refuge to drilling.

In a response to the boycott on its website, ExxonMobil said Tuesday the company supports "responsible" development of the Arctic refuge.

Raymond

Bush couldn't possibly show more contempt for his country, and his planet. Undoubtedly the most obnoxious man in the world.
