Famous Oil BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is one of the biggest ecological disasters on this planet has ever known. More than 200 liters of oil have reached the area before the leak was found April 22, 2010, and when he was arrested on July 15, more than two million liters of oil made its way into the ecosystem around it every day.

The result of this leakage is important not only ecologically but also economically. Near the beach and marine life at risk, including eight national parks and 400 hundred species of fish, birds and marine mammals, many of which have been threatened. In economic terms, is third from the Persian Gulf as not suitable for fishing, which contributed strongly to the fishing industry and tourism are also affected, as many have canceled their holidays in this region because of their fear of the health risk is not huge environmental damage. A rough estimate of lost profits in the tourism sector expects 23 billion decline in revenues during the period of 3 years. In the field, heavily dependent on tourism, the consequences of such losses can lead to bad consequences for the economy.

failure of society and their inability to quickly and effectively respond to the challenges of handling and control of the situation which caused damage to public outrage. Protests were held in the United States and the report has been signed on a massive boycott of all products support BP. The music industry can not remain passive, or an alternative metal band Korn war against the company by refusing to explain their tour bus with fuel from BP on the summer tour to offer. More bands will follow, with the metal phase mainly on the motion, including Megadeth, Black Label Society, Anthrax, Rob Zombie and Otep. It is estimated that more than 100 coaches have decided to ignore the BP and fuel to go to other places, but not during the summer tour period. This boycott of the company’s value is only 40% of lost profits.

The movement is ambiguous, because the third party can not be blamed for the suffering the impact of the boycott, but also very important because it shows that people can have a decent chance against the big companies that offer public safety in their pursuit of profits. People must understand that not only their rights but also duties to the pressure on companies in safety, health and quality of practice, and reject that do not match their own moral standards.
