All the Pennies Wishes Bring

International headlines have recently been full of the environmental disaster unfolding in the Gulf of Mexico – with some reporting that the oil slick could become worse than the Exxon Valdez spill of 1989.

What’s less well known is that this amount of oil is spilt every year in the Niger Delta – one of the ten most important wetland and coastal marine ecosystems in the world.

What’s worse is that this spill is happening by people’s homes and water and food sources, without anywhere near adequate clean up. Amazingly, the main company responsible promotes its strong ethical business principles* – Royal Dutch Shell.
