2020: is refusing to pay for the ' ' – we can fight back with citizen action

The lawyer challenging the oil company’s dump in is under house arrest. We need a boycott

by Alec Baldwin and Paul Paz y Miño

"In 2001, acquired , including all of its assets and civil liabilities. One of those liabilities was the “Amazon Chernobyl”, a 1,700-square-mile in Ecuador that Texaco created through a disregard – and an attitude that local groups have called racism – for the health of the region’s peoples. Texaco, the sole operator of the fields from 1964 to 1992, eventually admitted that it deliberately discharged 72bn litres of water into the environment, which ended up in the supply, and gouged 1,000 unlined waste pits out of the jungle floor. According to several Indigenous witnesses, including Humberto Piaguaje, a leader of the Ecuadorean people, the company actually claimed that the oil wastes were medicinal and 'full of vitamins'.

"Studies have shown thousands of excess cases of cancer deaths and other health problems in the region.

"Chevron insists that Texaco is only responsible for a portion of the damage, has 'already cleaned up its share' and attributes any remaining pollution to Ecuador’s state-owned national oil company. The government of Ecuador has been clear, in turn, that Chevron is liable for all of the damage."

So devastating. Moving away from dirty fuels is essential. The knock on effects for animals and people and the environment is unacceptable. Whilst an oil slick eating fungi would be great, I fear it would also discourage fuel companies from looking for alternatives and taking responsibility.

"Many of the toxic chemicals that were airborne in the early days after the derailment, including pollutants that can cause cancer and other serious problems, may have settled out of the air and onto furniture and into crevices in houses..."
