Chevron Clean up Ecuador

Chevron Clean up Ecuador

The Issue

"For over three decades, Chevron chose profit over people in the Ecuadorian Amazon. The cold and calculated decision to save $3 per barrel and yet poison entire communities is compounded daily as Chevron continues its PR campaign to suppress the truth and barrage the media with lies about its actions and responsibility. This blog is part of an ever-growing campaign to counter Chevron's misinformation tactics and speak frankly about their attempts to hide their role in the world's worst oil-related disaster." (quoted form the blog linked below)

It is a shame and a disgrace that Chevron has been allowed to spill oil into this region for over three decades and no one do anything to to stop them. We the people do firmly request that you make Chevron clean this mess up, and force them to stop drilling in this area. The environment needs us to protect them from  companies that treat it as a dump. We have had several oil spills this year and I for one am sick of it. We need to go green, this mess further strengthens this message. Please do something to put an end to this horrific event. Chevron , Bp, Exxon all the oil companies need to be held accountable for their messes or they will continue to disregard safety and spill oil into the waters of the earth. We only have one% of the water in the world is clean enough to drink as is, at this rate we will be surrounded by undrinkable water. What a horrible thought. We urge you to do your job as our leader and hold Chevron responsible for this mess. Thank you

Kiona TatePetition StarterI personally for a long time bought into I am just one, I can't do anything to change the world.. Than one day I had a great awakening and realized that if everyone felt that way nothing would get done, there would have been no Martian Luther King JR, Mother Teresa, Ghuandi, or any of the other great people that have made great change. So even though I know I will never be a great leader nor do I want to I decided to do any and all I can to help to save the planet.
