BP Reports Continued Reductions In GHG Emissions
BP has announced in its “BP Sustainability Report 2007” that its GHG emissions, discharges and wastes have decreased compared to 2006, and to a level 24 percent lower than the 83.4 million tons of CO2 emissions the company reported in 2003.
The company reduced its real sustainable GHG emissions by more than 7 million tons since 2001. Total non-GHG emissions to air also decreased, partly due to the installation of automated well controls in the U.S., according to the report. BP also decreased its hazardous wastes compared to 2006 when elevated levels resulted from a terminal demolition.

BP continues to dump massive amounts of waste from their Indiana refinery directly into Lake Michigan, the drinking water supply for Chicago and other communities in Wisconsin, Indiana and Illinois. Shame on Environmental Leader for giving BP free advertising.
