US Olympic Committee: Save the Winter Olympics, Reject BP's Sponsorship
As one of the biggest climate polluters, BP is directly threatening the future of the Winter Olympics. Yet, BP is sponsoring Team USA at the Sochi Olympics.
Tell the U.S. Olympic Committee: Reject BP as a Team USA sponsor.
Tell the U.S. Olympic Committee: Reject BP as a Team USA sponsor.
Why is this important?
If you've tuned into the Winter Olympics this year, chances are you've been inundated with BP commercials touting its sponsorship of Team USA in Sochi. But, while BP is funneling money to Team USA, they're simultaneously threatening the future of the winter games by their massive fueling of climate change. In fact, BP can count itself among 90 companies that have caused two-thirds of man-made global warming.
In 2012, the International Olympic Committee released a "Sustainability Through Sport" report recognizing the threat climate change poses to the Winter Olympics and calling for the world to reduce carbon emissions. And with only 6 of the 19 past Winter Olympic host cities estimated to be cold enough to host the games by 2100, you can understand why.
Tell the US Olympic Committee: it's time to stand up for the future of the Winter Games by rejecting BP as a Team USA sponsor. Please sign and share the petition today.
