This striking video made by Ed Kashi is excellent in raising awareness about the exploitation taking place in the Niger Delta. It starts at 16:27 and is 8 minutes long.

This ongoing catastrophe is far bigger than the BP oil spill. Watch it.

This documentary talks about getting America off oil and on biodiesel. 
Josh Tickell, (activist, environmentalist and the director of this film), promotes sustainability, health and green living.
He examines our dependence on oil, its monopoly and its influential power on our politics through lobbyism.

He also mentions the Iraq War as driven by the oil and the 9/11 tragedy that acted as a catalytic event for it.
 
He wants Biodiesel that comes from algae, from trees, garbage, cooked oil, solar and wind power to be the main source of energy.

He mentions the argument that biodiesel and ethanol, respectively coming from soy and corn, would compete with our food sources leading to food shortages and raising prices, therefore he suggests biodiesel that comes from algae farms instead which should harm no one.
 
That is correct and I couldn't agree more with him but what he does not mention is the other huge issue with these food crops and that is GMO.
Genetically engineered plants like corn, soy and canola, are one of the most terrible threats to our humanity and planet and that should be the first reason to be mentioned to dismiss this kind of biodiesel.
Companies like Monsanto are certainly expanding their power trying to push this false alternative energy.
 
Also, he never mentions HEMP as the greatest, most promising form of biofuel and also the least promoted.
 
I am definitely on the same page with Josh Tickell and his film when it comes to the elimination of our oil dependency and advice everyone to watch it.
 
A while ago, I grew tired to see temporary moratoriums and created this petition, the one petition that can change our world, asking our government to eliminate oil, coal and gas altogether and forever.
 
The price to pay for these energy sources is too high, too many deaths, too much sickness, too much control and our Freedom and our choice as citizens and consumers is long GONE.
Take it back!

Please, sign this Petition and support alternative, safe, renewable energy sources now. You can also sign it on the right side of this page.
No more waiting, no more killing, no more "Drill, baby, drill".

Thank you.

"Three years in the making, this cinéma-vérité feature from acclaimed filmmaker Joe Berlinger is the epic story of one of the largest and most controversial legal cases on the planet.

An inside look at the infamous $27 billion Amazon Chernobyl case, CRUDE is a real-life high stakes legal drama set against a backdrop of the environmental movement, global politics, celebrity activism, human rights advocacy, the media, multinational corporate power, and rapidly-disappearing indigenous cultures.

Presenting a complex situation from multiple viewpoints, the film subverts the conventions of advocacy filmmaking as it examines a complicated situation from all angles while bringing an important story of environmental peril and human suffering into focus."

We are sorry BP that you are getting all the blame. 
We are sorry that WE, the people are having hard time understanding that you are not just one company but that you and all other oil companies are ONE and are ruling the WORLD. 

We are sorry that, We, the people, are being so naive blaming it all on you and almost never take the one action that could change this all. The one action that could stop oil drilling onshore and offshore, gas drilling (fracking), coal and the whole fossil fuel industry altogether once and for all, ending this ecocide FOREVER just by signing this petition: 
http://environment.change.org/ or on the right side of the screen.
 

We are sorry to be the first social movement to have created the one petition that could end this all and to inspire many others to do so, spreading fast and powerful just like your oil spill does.



This apology was submitted to apologizetoBP site.

Hydraulic fracturing or "fracking" is drilling for gas.

In order to accomplish that, hundreds and hundreds of secret, carcinogen and toxic chemicals need to be used along with millions of gallons of water.

The byproduct is this toxic and deadly cocktail of contaminated water called "Produced Water" that gets dumped into ponds or injected back into the ground. Then, they use sprayers to help evaporate this water and make it vanish into thin air.
An other byproduct is the constant release of VOCs in the air that will produce ozone. 


Within days, all of it comes back into our fresh water supply killing aquatic life and anything that comes into contact. It finds its way into the kitchen sink, crops and into your PLATE.

Watch this important documentary and think carefully because this isn't just their problem, IT"S OURS and we must stop it now:
