While the world’s eyes are staring at the Gulf of Mexico and BP extravagant health&safety record, one should not overlook other damages made by the oil&gas sector. Shell and Exxon’s devastating and persistent bumping of oil into the Delta of Niger, one of the world’s ten richest ecosystem in the world and home to ancient civilisations, is a good example of what some call the Double Standard, meaning the discrepancy between multinational’s practices in developed and developing countries.
Recognizing this discrepancy is perhaps the first step to take towards a more equal world, or at least in how the information is dealt with
