@vice: "It was an apocalyptic nightmare..." After a visit to Ecuador in 1993, human rights lawyer Steven Donziger and other attorneys brought a class-action lawsuit against Texaco (later Chevron) on behalf of over 30,000 farmers and Indigenous people after "Amazon Chernobyl," a 1,700-square-mile environmental disaster brought on by oil extraction and production. Tap the link in bio to watch.
His name is Steve Donziger, he’s an environmental lawyer that won this suit in Ecuador. Chevron retaliated in the U.S. barring him from practicing and sent him to jail. Chevron still never paid btw

The United States benefits from other countries’ resources, destroys their environments, and undermines their economies. Then complains when people come to the U.S. seeking a better life after their own lands have been devastated.

I worked at an environmental law firm in college, I quickly became disillusioned and discouraged. It’s virtually impossible to fight these greedy evil corporations

If you want to get even more mad, the chevron website has an entire page about this lawsuit, saying the lawyer committed fraud and blaming the ecuadorian government for not cleaning it up

court ruling that ordered Chevron to pay approximately \(\$9.5\) billion, a figure later upheld by Ecuador's Supreme Court in 2013. However, Chevron has refused to pay

Nations need to force these companies to correct the mistakes and spend in restoration efforts and development for the native people and develop and pay for sanctuaries to be build and donated to the local nation.
