SCORES of leaflets were handed out to motorists at a Burnley petrol station urging them to boycott Esso garages.
Members of the Burnley and District Friends of the Earth were taking part in a nationwide day of protest aimed at the oil giant.
They handed out leaflets to drivers as they left the Esso's petrol station forecourt on Rossendale Road.
Hundreds of garages around the country will be targeted in a "Stop Esso Day" by people concerned about global warming, to draw attention to what they claim are Esso's attempts to stop a world agreement to tackle the problem.
