Imagine this little rock and trees covered in black oil. Now take this little bit of rock and multiply it until you cover a beach approximately the size of the East Coast of America. That is how much damage Exxon did to this absolutely fantastic region of natures finest. And they got away with it. Now that everything is pretty much back to normal they beleive they do not need to pay retribution or restitution to those and that which was effected. by the way, I do drive a car and I am not a tree hugger per se' but I do hate the oil companies. Wish my truck was electric.
