BP must have really pulled all the stops out to win this award, because competition from Shell was extremely stiff. Of course other contenders for this award include Porsche, for their magazine advertisements for the 'greener 911'... which had a green 911 driving up through a mountain scene... the audacity of Porsche surely deserves a commendation for cheek if nothing else?! This must be one of the toughest awards to win because many companies really are pushing the boundaries of greenwash!

Awesome! You should have hot glued that thing to their door.

Bastards. So willing to rape the environment for a buck but won't even accept an award that might make them rethink what they do. Cowardly savages.
