Chevron Thinks We're Stupid

The folks at Chevron must really think we're stupid.

They think we'll fall for their ridiculous attempts to greenwash the company's image even while they refuse to take responsibility for Chevron's oily messes and human rights abuses in countless communities around the world.

Let Chevron know that we're not fooled and that we agree oil companies should clean up their messes. Share the spoof posters and videos on this site, or better yet, create your own!

Chevron Found Guilty AGAIN

Chevron has a perception problem: Turns out a mega-rich, Big Oil behemoth denying basic human rights and a clean environment to 30,000 Indigenous and rural Ecuadoreans doesn't sit well with most folks.

Chevron has been found guilty — again — of dumping a massive amount of toxic oil pollution in the Ecuadorean Amazon. But the company still refuses to pay for clean up.

Unfortunately, the company's PR hacks have done a particularly awful job of explaining why Chevron puts profits ahead of people and the planet. That's where you come in. There's no they can handle this one on their own — they need you to come up with Chevron's next ludicrous excuse for them.
