Description

Run to Failure: BP and the Making of the Deepwater Horizon DisasterBP bought one company after another and then relentlessly fired employees and cut costs. It skipped safety procedures, pumped toxic chemicals back into the ground, and let equipment languish, even while Browne claimed a new era of environmentally sustainable business as his own. For a while the strategy worked, making BP one of the most profitable corporations in the world. Then it all began to unravel, in felony convictions for environmental crimes


BP bought one company after another and then relentlessly fired employees and cut costs. It skipped safety procedures, pumped toxic chemicals back into the ground, and let equipment languish, even while Browne claimed a new era of environmentally sustainable business as his own. For a while the strategy worked, making BP one of the most profitable corporations in the world. Then it all began to unravel, in felony convictions for environmental crimes and in one deadly accident after another. Employees and regulators warned that BP's problems, unfixed, were spinning out of control, that another disaster--bigger and deadlier--was inevitable. Nobody was listening.

Having reported on business and the energy industry for nearly a decade, Abrahm Lustgarten uses interviews with key executives, former government investigators, and whistle-blowers along with his exclusive access to BP's internal documents and emails to weave a spellbinding investigative narrative of hubris and greed well before the gulf oil spill.

Great product for kids! Or adults!
I love that this has refill sizes! I’ve been using it since my son was born. Great smell, good ingredients, and truly no tears! My son is bathing himself now, and he handles the pump with ease. The product washes out easily, and leaves hair soft. No need for conditioner!

Wish there was other smells available
I actually really love this product, the only reason why I gave a 4 and not a 5 is only because I wish they had different smells, I like the nighttime version better but they don’t make refills for that smell and only this one. I have decided to try out a different product (Jergen), so we shall see if I come back to babyganics or not.

My go-to soap: The best option for over a year
After a long search, this soap has been my favorite for over a year. It stands out for its lack of harsh smells, offering a subtle, almost scent-free experience. Free of harsh chemicals, it causes no rash or side effects, even on sensitive skin. It effectively cleans, washing away dirt without residue or oily feelings, leaving skin fresh. This simple, effective, and gentle soap is now a permanent fixture in my routine. Highly recommended for a clean, natural feel.

It’s gentle for kids in my opinion.
Love the soap. Very gentle for kids and foams very well. Bought it because I needed refills. Used this soap for a while and I love it.
