03FEB BP competition: Reduce your carbon footprint and win Brompton MADE ME SO FURIOUS

I spotted the competition advert on FB, It read something like: reduce your carbon footprint and you will have a chance to win a Brompton bike. It made me so furious I decided I will enter with a thorough list of how much pollution BP is releasing in every-form possible they are suggesting that they close their company and ideally all oil related companies around the world.

well I cant find a trace of that competition anywhere on-line.
I was NOT THE ONLY FURIOUS one, I think thats why
the whole project is not to be found.
