Ethical Shell Out

02November2008

This is a true story, and awfully common. Just as in every social circle, I have a token green friend who harps on about being ethical and trying to save the planet whilst simultaneously criticising my viewpoint of apathy. The same friend then threw a wobbly over the lack of cheap petrol from Shell - er, what?

In the grand scheme of things unethical petrol is unavoidable, but come on! Can I trust you all to type “shell unethical” in Google? Will you all be OK sifting through the three-hundred thousand odd results? When an organisation is corrupt it’s compared to one of four corporations: McDonald’s, Coca Cola, Nike and Shell.

This is the reason I won’t bend to the ethical paraphenelia. The day the expectations for being green and ethical change so the entire facade isn’t a condescending brew of hypocrisy and malable ignorance, is the day I eat my own hat whilst perched naked atop a juggling giraffe with Tourette’s.
