Name them after lawmakers who gut environmental regulations.

Some of them take pride in destroying our world and would love this.

Welcome to the 5th Annual ExxonMobil Corn Belt Desertification, brought to you in part by the Darren Woods Not-Woods-Anymore Sand Dunes And Funplex. We are broadcasting to you live from our fortified bunker deep underground here in beautiful Clear Lake Oasis, Iowa, using 100% renewable energy generated by local residents. And we are happy to announce our partnership with Sociopathy Gives A Little Back Sometimes Philanthropy, who has agreed to donate one fresh apple for every ten kilowatt-hours generated by our Team Green Cycle Team. Thanks team, we could not have done this without you, and there are a thousand people waiting to take your spot! Keep up the good work!

While I appreciate the sentiment, as PT Barnum once said “there’s no such thing as bad publicity.”

Of all the companies out there, oil companies are the ones least in need of free publicity!

[–] And009@reddthat.com 1 points 3 months ago

Instead of trusting PT, let's try it anyway. Millennial are sure gonna feel it more

[–] redisdead@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Blaming consumers for buying products made with oil

Blaming oil companies for selling products people buy
