They just put on a big show. They would only give a limited number of plastic waste bags to beach cleaners. Beach cleaners would fill the bags with oil waste earley in the morning and sit all day without waste bags. Exxon had barges with containers full of bags anchored near by, but controled the costs of clean up knowing that the more bags dispursed to beach cleaners the more it would cost to remove the waste and have it shiped to incenerators. This is well known in Seldovia where we worked hard to save our wildlife and beaches. Three weeks after oil spill an Exxon came to our village and stated that the oil was gone and dispursed and it was safe to go fishing. I took my boat out to go sablefishing and my engine sucked oil into the heat exchanger ruining the engine as I tried to keep the boat from blowing on the rocks. The boat ended up on the beach and the hull was damaged so bad I had to destroy the vessel later. I was paid $8,500. by Exxon, The current vessel survey showed the vessel was worth $100,000.

They made HOW MUCH in corporate profits in the past few years, and are acting as if they shouldn't have to pay for their damages? Your duty as a citizen, youngsters, is to see to it that corporations are accountable, as there are fewer and fewer people willing to take the time it takes...it should be as natural as brushing your teeth...a day to day job...to be a citizen..and good people everywhere need to make Exxon pay for this horror...well, don't know what else to say.
