So I've been doing a fair bit of driving recently, so to slightly offset my middle-class CO2 guilt footprint I joined the Shell Drivers' Club and elected for my points to be donated to CO2 Reduction Projects.
I just got my statement in. £17.50 automatically donated means I can look my polar bear in the eye again.
But... a the bottom it says: [i]"This quarter, we’ll be donating [b]£5667.50[/b] on behalf of Shell Drivers’ Club members to a range of projects, including renewable energy and industrial greenhouse gas emission projects"[/i].
Really? Just five and a half grand? That's not exactly a world changing amount.
Does that means there is only roughly 323 other folk in the country doing this??
😳 I get mine changed into money-off fuel vouchers. Sorry Mr P. Bear.
EDIT: <guilt> I might actually change as I get very little in return. A couple of pounds every couple of months.</guilt>
SO disappointhed in you grahamS Shell 🙄
The oil giant Shell has agreed to pay $15.5m (£9.6m) in settlement of a legal action in which it was accused of having collaborated in the execution of the writer Ken Saro-Wiwa and eight other leaders of the Ogoni tribe of southern Nigeria.The settlement, reached on the eve of the trial in a federal court in New York, was one of the largest payouts agreed by a multinational corporation charged with human rights violations.
You are not part of a Nestle loyalty card as well are you?
SO disappointhed in you grahamS Shell
I know, but what you gonna do? Not many multinational oil giants are exactly Fair Trade Certified.
Get mine changed to Airmiles HaHo
not many have bene so involved in murder though.
I agree it is a bit like picking the least offensive mass murdering dictator but it is not Shell
I buy shell too, because they're the only people that make the nice gogo juice my planet killing car needs (vpower). I could de-tune it but that would be no fun, and I'd have no internal conflicts to keep me awake at night!
coffeeking: there is a separate V-power club so you can earn extra sad polar bear offset points.
oooh, excellent, my own special club - I'll have to switch! Thanks for that! I want to give more to polar bears, they're cuddly looking 😀
I buy my fuel from Shell AND shop at Tescos........
