Excerpted from CBC News–read the full article here:
Four more major U.S. companies have joined a movement to boycott or at least reduce the use of fuels made from oilsands crude.
Walgreens, with its 7,500 drugstores, says it's switching fuel suppliers for its delivery trucks.
And The Gap, Timberland and Levi Strauss have all told their transportation contractors they will give preference to those who avoid oilsands fuels.
The group Forest Ethics, which has offices in Toronto, Vancouver, San Francisco and Bellingham, Wash., is behind the campaign aimed at pressuring the petroleum industry and the Alberta government to reduce the oilsands' impact on the environment.
