The video below about Shell Oil’s criminal behavior in Nigeria should be of interest to socially conscious car-drivers, English teachers who teach Joseph Conrad’s (awful, in my view) novel, The Heart of Darkness, and history teachers who teach Euro-American colonialism. The video spotlights a current legal case against Shell. I always find that history and literature come alive more when connected to examples from our own world that show this isn’t a dusty issue from yesteryear. “The Horror” lives on today.

Want to boycott Shell and other socially irresponsible oil companies, and buy your gas from those who rank higher for their ethics? According to this site, Sunoco and BP (Amoco, ARCO, am/pm) rank highest, and deserve your business. Costco, Shell, Chevron-Texaco, Conoco-Phillips and, worst of all, Exxon-Mobil rank lowest on social responsibility.
