Kudos to the government of Ecuador for making the environmental protection of the rainforest in Ecuador a priority. Chevron should step up to the plate and clean up the mess that Texaco left behind, but it's clear that Chevron would rather fight everyone in court than admit mistakes. I'm a public spokesperson for the Amazon Defense Coalition, which represents the plaintiffs in the lawsuit against Chevron for oil contamination cited in this article. We have started a blog, called The Chevron Pit, to comment on Chevron's actions and (lack of action, in some cases) in Ecuador and other part of the world. See our blog at http://thechevronpit/blogspot.com/ for recent commentary on the trial in San Francisco about the Nigerians who were murdered by military personnel working for Chevron.
