They over package their products,their factorys produce way to much carbon dioxide and they are a national threat to mother nature I absolutly hate them

Companies everywhere that don't switch off their computers... or even put them to sleep

Sorry for being so generic here.... but this is something that really peeves me. It is easy to set computers to actually fully switch off, and some people don't even put them to sleep - just leave the screensaver on (which does basically nought for energy saving). Anyways... this picture here - I wonder who's it is?

Solar Panels

Oh, great. "Many of the newest solar panels are manufactured with a gas that is 17,000 times more potent than carbon dioxide in contributing to global warming." Read more here: http://www.foreignpolicy.com/top10-2008/index6.html (via http://www.airbagindustries.com).

“A billionaire’s vanity project has been put ahead of a Site of Special Scientific Interest. The decision to build a golf course on an SSSI amounts to wanton vandalism.

BP

Don't be fooled by the pretty green logo and claims of alternative energy. They are still Big Oil, and in it for BIG PROFITS!!

General Motors

They once killed the electric car. Now they're slowly bringing in hybrids, but watch out!! They're greenwashing left and right with claims like "Green Car of the Year" for a 20 MPG Chevy Tahoe SUV.

First of all, there's no such thing as a green car. Improving efficiency is wonderful, just don't mislead us!

Exxon Mobil

They're a whole lot of bad.

Oh, and the picture is of the Exxon Valdez disaster.

Although his beard is certainly irresistible, his soft soap on climate change is kind of hollow. Methinks his business plan of flying posh people to outer space might be a bit of a carbon bigfoot too.

Stelios Haji-Ioannou

For leading the low-cost short haul air travel 'revolution' way back whenever, not only killing us all softly but, to make matters worse, doing it with the most vile aircraft livery and corporate branding known to man. Yuck.

Thomas Midgley

Possibly the single greatest polluter in the history of forever. The Talented Mr Midgley was not only responsible for first putting lead in petrol, he also put CFCs into our fridges and freezers. But apparently it did all turn out alright in the end... rendered bed-bound by Polio at the age of 51, the ever-inventive Mr M developed a system of ropes and pulleys to help him move about more freely.
