:45:03
As a public demonstration
it wasnt very effective
:45:05
due to the fact that this
is a very rural area
:45:07
two people and a dog
:45:08
and it's not
a very big house
:45:10
which I think rather
surprised them
:45:12
but then we sat down
and talked to them
:45:14
for a couple of hours
:45:16
and we gave them
tea and coffee
:45:17
and they had
lunch on our lawn.
:45:35
After about 20
minutes they said
:45:37
Well the problem is
not you. It's Shell.
:45:40
And I said now wait a
minute lets talk about
:45:43
what is Shell?
:45:44
It's made up
of people like me.
:45:46
In the end what we
found in that discussion
:45:48
were all the things
they we're worried about
:45:50
I was worried about as well
:45:52
climate oppressive
regimes human rights
:45:56
the big difference
between us was
:45:59
I feel that I can actually
make a contributions to this
:46:01
these people
were frustrated
:46:03
because they felt that
they had no nothing to do.
:46:06
So an individual
CEO lets say
:46:09
may really care
about the environment
:46:12
and in fact
:46:13
since they have such
extraordinary resources
:46:15
they can even devote some of
their resources to that
:46:17
without violating
their responsibility
:46:21
to be totally inhuman
:46:24
which is why
:46:25
as the Moody Starts
serve tea to protestors
:46:28
Shell Nigeria can flare
unrivalled amounts of gas
:46:32
making it of the worlds single
worst sources of pollution.
:46:36
And all the professed concerns
about the environment
:46:39
do not spare Ken Saro Wiwa
and eight other activists
:46:43
from being hung for opposing
Shells environment practices
:46:46
in the Niger Delta.
:46:57
The corporation
is not a person
:46:58
it doesnt think.
:46:59
People in it think
