Emma's BP Rebranding


Everyone is well aware of the recent oil spill that has had a major negative impact on the environment recently. The full damage of this oil spill cannot even fully be comprehended and will have effects for years to come. In further researching BP, I found that this problem is so large and widely covered by the media, which actually reflects attention away from the numerous other shocking things that BP is responsible for. In the last few years, BP has received the largest OSHA fines over all other companies, for reasons like the closing of public schools due to toxic emissions from their refineries (multiple times at the same schools) and fires at oil refineries that left many dead or injured–and that's just the tip of the iceberg. In the simplest terms, when I think BP I cannot help but think dirty money.
