16/05/2002 GIANT NUTS ABOUT STOPESSOThe ancient Cerne Abbas chalk giant in Dorset joined the StopEsso campaign this morning after supporters placed a banner in his hand saying “I’VE GOT THE BALLS TO BOYCOTT ESSO.” The well-endowed giant’s proclamation is part of an international StopEsso week, which has already seen protests across the globe. It finishes in the UK on Saturday, with around 4000 people joining events outside one quarter (over 400) of Esso’s garages to give its customers one clear message: DON’T BUY ESSO! “Esso doesn’t give a damn about global warming. But the Giant, along with thousands of people across the UK this Saturday, is standing up to the way this company is paying for George Bush’s climate policy,” said Cindy Baxter StopEsso Campaign Coordinator. The StopEsso Campaign, a coalition of Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth and People & Planet, was launched one year ago to boycott Esso because of its ongoing sabotage of international action on global warming.
