BP has made an unprecedented move by renovating the gas station at the corner of Olympic and Robertson in Los Angeles. This trend is toward a more environmentally conscience gas-pumping facility. The place is made of recycled and non-toxic materials, collects rainwater to nourish on-site vegetation, and uses solar panels to power some of the electronic devices. At the very least, it just looks more appealing. I think this is the first of many redesigned filling stations.
