They didn't spend a single cent of that profit money towards cleanup plans or prevention plans, and they are worth more than many nations. They couldn't even be bothered to put a living person down as the emergency contact on their government permit. And you think consumers share blame for this?
If you wanna take that on as a part of your burden in life, be my guest. But I am not responsible in any way, shape, or form for BP destroying the planet. BP is.

You no longer drive a car or truck, right?
You buy no products made from plastic, right?
You heat your home with wood that you chop up with an axe, right?
You mow your lawn with the aforementioned push-type reel mower, right?
You take no drugs which have the petroleum industry in their foundation, right?
You ride a bicycle but don't ride on the roads or sidewalks because those are the product of the petroleum industry, right?
In fact, your home is built entirely of hand-harvested wood and other "natural" products which you harvested yourself because all building materials are related to the petroleum industry, right?
Your clothing is all made from cotton, grown in organic fields, harvested by hand and done up on a manually-powered mill, right?
You ride your bicycle to the Post Office, staying off the petroleum-based roads and sidewalks to get your mail (Or do you reject your mail because it GOT to your local Post Office in petroleum-powered transport vehicles?), right?
You do not eat food which has been grown by farmers who used petroleum operated farm equipment or which was delivered to the grocery store in petroleum operated delivery vehicles, right?
An of course, you ALWAYS ride your bicycle to that mythical grocery store, right?
right
