Very interesting conversation there. I've recently seen Ed Kashi's photos from the Niger Delta at the Human Rights Action Centre. If you want to take action on Shell and their human rights abuses... - http://www.amnesty.org.uk/s...

The way home led across black-earth fields that had just been ploughed up. I ascended the dusty path. The ploughed field belonged to a landed proprietor and was so large that on both sides and before me to the top of the hill nothing was visible but evenly furrowed and moist earth. The land was well tilled and nowhere was there a blade of grass or any kind of plant to be seen, it was all black. “Ah, what a destructive creature is man….How many different plant-lives he destroys to support his own existence!” thought I, involuntarily looking around for some living thing in this lifeless black field.

I love the 'Shell Shock' slogan!
