Oil Contamination

Oil contamination has devastated the lives 

of the people in the Niger Delta 

destroyed their livelihoods

undermined their access to clean water and food

and put their health at serious risk.

Colonial ravages continue

The happy driver in CA

Is blind to the kid in the delta

A half a world away

We do not give a damn

We can't see the mess

We all have shares

In noxious oil

When it is gone

Will we find other means

Of distance desecration

Bottled Water Signals Our Addiction to Oil

Water Bottle Pollution Facts | National Geographic: "Oil Consumption

According to "National Geographic," Americans drink more bottled water than any other nation, purchasing an impressive 29 billion bottles every year. Making all the plastic for those bottles uses 17 million barrels of crude oil annually. That is equivalent to the fuel needed to keep 1 million vehicles on the road for 12 months. If you were to fill one quarter of a plastic water bottle with oil, you would be looking at roughly the amount used to produce that bottle. (See References 2)"

This is yet another casualty of our shaky commitment to government by the people. If we took that seriously we might invest more in creating and maintaining clean, safe tap water.

Big oil and coal are spending fortunes to spread doubt beneath the radar, but, according to Al, “Not anymore. On Sept. 14th, the world will join hands to create 24 hours of reality, an event that will focus the world’s attention on the Full Truth, Scope, Scale, and Impact of the Climate Crisis.”
