The worst part is that the things the people in these ads say they will do are teensy tiny things that won’t help much any how.

Booo Chevron. Booooo.

This post is , unfortunately timely as yesterday Chevron was acquitted on all counts of Human Rights abuses in the Niger Delta of Nigeria.
You can read about the result here:

(WSJ always has an interesting take) http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122809188904967767.html?mod=googlenews_wsj

and here is a great blog on the case and it’s history.

finally keep your ears open early next year for a very similar case happening in NY Federal courts.Shell is being taken to trial for very similar charges regarding the 1995 murder of Ken Saro-Wiwa, a Nigerian that was organizing against Shells human rights and enviro abuses. This has the potential to set precedent for charging Multi-national Corps for crimes committed about by their subsidiaries.

For example, http://www.simplestop.net stops your postal junk mail and benefits the environment.
