I have just read Emergildo Criollo’s story about how a recent oil spill has affected the health and well-being of the Cofan people. As a Chevron shareholder, I am concerned about protecting my investments in addition to the environment and the way of life of Mr. Criollo’s people. I urge you to do a proper clean-up of the area where these people live so their health may be restored.

well this is the fault not of texico/chevron. but the fault of the government which brokered the deal to many times we lay blame strictly on the corporations, well it takes two to tango. these governments have armies they have more power then a guy in a suit. but they 1. took bribes, screwed the indigenous people under their care causing death to human animal and plant life. who was worse the guy with the cash or the guy who was elected to govern for the people.? its like blaming god for homosexual preists who pray on innocent children. its not gods fault. its like blaming the boy scouts for the homosexual predator who managed to get in and become a scout leader probably due to inequality. but hey who cares right.

This is so sad what happened to him over the years. I can’t believe what this Chevron has done to Ecuador.

It is a crime that American corporations go around the world destroying and contaminating so that they can enrich the coffers of their companies, while they themselves live in luxury. Have they no shame!

The same goes with Shell in Nigeria and every oil company around the world. Digging for Oil is one of the worst things we are doing to our planet. We need to turn to more sustainable methods, but these oil companies are so greedy. Last year, Exxon made more money than all the car companies combined. Down with the Oil companies!!!

This is hideous, the tale of death and destruction that Texaco/Chevron has left behind and for what….money and oil. They have destroyed a culture. This is overwhelmingly sad.
