BP's environmental record is pretty appalling. In 2000, British Petroleum changed its name to BP (Beyond Petroleum) and chose a yellow and green sunflower-like as its logo in a bid to highlight its interest in alternative and environmentally friendly fuels. Nevertheless BP was named one of the "ten worst corporations" in both 2001 and 2005 based on its environmental and human rights records. www.we-make-money-not-art.com

Question: Is it not likely that BP changed its name because of its record?

Question: If the Brits are so intent on not having BP called 'British Petroleum', why do they claim it as a British company? You are the guys primarily doing it, not us.

Question: Since 'Kentucky Fried Chicken' changed its name to 'KFC', does that mean you Brits would not dream of identifying it with its former name?

Question: Since when is 2000 so "long ago"? KFC changed its name in 1991.
