Control Greenhouse Gases
Global warming is caused by greenhouse gasses. We need to move from burning fossil fuels to greener energy and protect our forests.
Objectives
Reduce greenhouse gasses
Target
Chevron
Chevron's retail gas stations give consumers a direct daily spending relationship. The Texaco sub-brand adds additional consumer reach. Switching gas stations or moving to EVs is a straightforward consumer action.
Better alternatives
Ways to take a stand
I pledge to delete the chevron app from my phone
Removing the Chevron app reduces engagement with their loyalty ecosystem and digital fuel pricing tools, signaling disengagement from their consumer data pipeline.
I pledge to cancel my chevron techron advantage credit card
The Chevron Techron Advantage card drives fuel purchases and earns Chevron revenue through transaction fees and financing; cancelling it removes a direct financial relationship with the company.
I pledge to stop purchasing fuel at chevron and texaco stations for one month
Chevron's core consumer revenue comes from retail fuel sales at its branded stations; choosing a competitor at the pump for 30 days directly reduces their sales volume.
I pledge to switch all regular fuel purchases to a non-chevron brand
Making a permanent switch away from Chevron and Texaco stations to an independent or competitor brand creates a lasting reduction in Chevron's retail fuel revenue.
I pledge to replace chevron-branded motor oil and lubricants with a competing brand
Chevron sells consumer lubricants under brands like Havoline and Delo; switching to alternatives like Mobil 1 or Castrol removes recurring spending from Chevron's consumer products segment.
I pledge to close any investment accounts or divest mutual funds with significant chevron holdings
Requesting that your brokerage or retirement fund exclude Chevron stock reduces institutional demand for their shares and signals investor-level disapproval, representing the highest-impact individual financial action available.
Target
Shell (Shell USA)
Shell's ubiquitous U.S. retail gas station network makes it highly boycottable. The broken climate commitment narrative (Shell marketed itself as a green transition leader) makes for a compelling campaign story.
Better alternatives
Ways to take a stand
I pledge to delete the shell app from my phone
Removing the Shell app reduces engagement with their loyalty ecosystem and digital fuel discount programs, cutting a direct consumer touchpoint Shell uses to drive repeat purchases.
I pledge to cancel my shell fuel rewards membership
Deactivating your Shell Fuel Rewards account withdraws your data and loyalty spend from Shell's consumer retention program, directly reducing their ability to monetize your purchasing habits.
I pledge to stop buying shell-branded gasoline for 30 days
Avoiding Shell stations for one month redirects your fuel spending to competitors and sends a measurable signal of consumer withdrawal from one of Shell's primary U.S. retail revenue streams.
I pledge to switch my regular fueling station to a non-shell brand
Permanently switching to a competing fuel retailer such as BP, Chevron, or a local independent station creates lasting revenue impact rather than a temporary boycott.
I pledge to switch away from shell-branded lubricants and motor oil products
Shell's Pennzoil and Quaker State brands are major consumer product lines; switching to competing motor oil brands at routine oil changes removes recurring revenue from Shell's downstream consumer segment.
I pledge to close my shell-branded credit card account
Cancelling a Shell credit card or co-branded fuel card eliminates a high-value consumer relationship that drives both fuel purchases and financial service revenue for Shell's retail partners.
Target
Tyson Foods
Tyson products are found in virtually every U.S. grocery store. Consumers can switch to competing brands or reduce meat consumption. Tyson's multiple consumer-facing brands (Jimmy Dean, Hillshire Farm, Ball Park) give consumers specific products to boycott. Agricultural methane is a major and underappreciated greenhouse gas source.
Better alternatives
Ways to take a stand
I pledge to leave a 1-star review on tyson foods products
Rate Tyson Foods products on grocery retailer websites (Amazon Fresh, Walmart, Instacart) to signal dissatisfaction and influence other shoppers. Low ratings on high-traffic platforms directly affect product visibility and purchasing decisions.
I pledge to stop buying jimmy dean, hillshire farm, or ball park products
Tyson Foods owns Jimmy Dean, Hillshire Farm, Ball Park, and State Fair brands — choosing competing breakfast sausage, hot dog, or deli brands cuts revenue across Tyson's full brand portfolio, not just its flagship label.
I pledge to stop buying tyson-branded chicken, beef, or pork products for 30 days
Tyson Foods' core retail revenue comes from branded meat products sold at grocery stores. Withdrawing your household spending for one month sends a measurable demand signal at the point of sale.
I pledge to switch from tyson to an alternative meat brand at my regular grocery store
Replace Tyson chicken nuggets, strips, or ground beef with a competing brand such as Perdue, Bell & Evans, or a store-brand alternative. A permanent switch multiplies economic pressure across every future shopping trip.
I pledge to ask my workplace cafeteria or school to source non-tyson meat suppliers
Institutional food service contracts represent a major Tyson revenue channel. Requesting that your cafeteria, school, or university switch suppliers applies pressure at the bulk-purchasing level where volume impact is highest.
I pledge to permanently eliminate all tyson foods brands from my household grocery purchases
Committing to a permanent household boycott across all Tyson-owned brands — including Tyson, Jimmy Dean, Hillshire Farm, Ball Park, State Fair, and Aidells — maximizes long-term economic pressure and represents a full withdrawal of consumer spending from the company.
Target
Delta Air Lines
Travelers choose airlines frequently and can switch to competitors or reduce air travel. The Delta greenwashing lawsuit is directly on-point for a climate campaign — the company deceived consumers about its environmental impact. High public awareness and recent news coverage make this a strong target.
Better alternatives
Ways to take a stand
I pledge to delete the fly delta app from my phone
Removing the app reduces Delta's mobile engagement metrics and makes it harder to book future flights with them. It's a visible first step in disengaging from their ecosystem.
I pledge to freeze my skymiles account activity
Stop earning or redeeming SkyMiles by avoiding Delta flights and partners. Loyalty program engagement is a key metric Delta uses to justify premium pricing and partnerships.
I pledge to cancel my delta skymiles credit card
Closing a Delta co-branded credit card (e.g., Delta SkyMiles American Express) cuts revenue from interchange fees and removes Delta from your everyday spending. This directly impacts their financial partnership with Amex.
I pledge to cancel my delta sky club membership
Delta's Sky Club memberships are a recurring revenue stream; cancelling removes a direct subscription payment and signals dissatisfaction with premium offerings.
I pledge to book my next flight with a competing airline instead of delta
Switching to a competitor like Southwest, United, or American for your next trip directly redirects ticket revenue away from Delta. Airlines track load factors closely, and lost bookings affect route profitability.
I pledge to commit to avoiding delta flights for six months
A sustained boycott of Delta as your carrier over an extended period causes meaningful revenue loss, especially if you are a frequent flyer in a high-value segment. This is the highest-impact individual action available.
Target
ExxonMobil
Consumers fill up at Exxon and Mobil stations daily — switching to a competitor or EV charging is a concrete, immediate action. ExxonMobil is the face of Big Oil climate obstruction and already features prominently in public climate discourse.
Better alternatives
Ways to take a stand
I pledge to delete the exxon mobil app from my phone
Removing the ExxonMobil fuel finder and Speedpass+ payment app reduces their digital engagement metrics and loyalty program participation, signaling declining consumer interest.
I pledge to cancel my exxonmobil rewards+ loyalty membership
Leaving the Rewards+ program withdraws your data and purchasing loyalty from ExxonMobil, directly reducing the value of their customer retention program.
I pledge to switch my exxonmobil or mobil-branded credit card to a different issuer
Closing or replacing a co-branded ExxonMobil credit card cuts a recurring financial relationship and reduces transaction fee revenue tied to their brand.
I pledge to stop purchasing fuel at exxonmobil and mobil stations for 30 days
Choosing a competing gas station for one month directly reduces ExxonMobil's retail fuel revenue and demonstrates measurable consumer defection at the pump.
I pledge to replace exxonmobil-branded motor oil and lubricants with a competing brand
Mobil 1 and other ExxonMobil lubricant products are a significant consumer revenue line; permanently switching brands for vehicle maintenance cuts into their retail product sales.
I pledge to switch my home or business energy supplier away from exxonmobil-affiliated providers
In deregulated energy markets, switching to a renewable or competitor energy supplier removes a recurring revenue stream and signals demand-side pressure on fossil fuel companies.
