Chevron and other big multinational companies are nothing but a feral pest quite happily destroying other people’s lives and the planet for profits. They are like a top predator on the loose with no conscience. Governments need to get together and eradicate these pests who prey on the weak. It’s time humans start thinking about developing some collective intelligence and a respect for all life on earth.

I used to have a group “Salvam”(Save the Amazon), to work for the Ecuadorian Amazon, against Conoco, together with Judith Kimerling, ( a lawyer from USA), but it’s very difficult, and I gave up. Then I worked with Amanaka, for the Brazilian Amazon. But the corruption in these countries, and the indiference of the people of USA, who only care when the problem touch them, make very difficult to brake this barrier. The Planet is burning and many people do not know what is Global Warming. I became very skeptical about to win over these giants. Maybe we need to disapear, and leave this Planet to other people who take care more of this beautiful Planet.

According to Chevron they are not responsible for this environmental rape and pillage.
This is not surprising as these “small countries” like Ecuador existed only for the raping of their resources by Big Oil.The resource is what matters. The indiginous folks who actually live there are,essentially, non-existent.
Corporate responsibilty only occurs ( at least a little bit) in the U.S. IF YOU ARE OUTSIDE OUR BORDERS..LOOK OUT!

You would think that Big Oil would listen to the buzz about environmental sensibility. Apparently they may choose not to. WHAT A PITY!
