    Is it me or was their message lost in translation?

    Most Kayaks and glasses are made from a poly (oil) based resin. Surprised they didn’t know that

    That's exactly why I avoid politics as much as I can. It is impossible to live a perfect life. People who point out my flaws are hypocrites. And if I were to point out theirs I'd be hypocritical. Unless you're a monk or something of that nature nobody really lives a life without a few vices.

    You wouldn't have your little plastic kayaks without oil, or the oars, or all they safety gear your using, or the signs you are displaying. The radio on the organizers outfit couldn't exist without oil...its glasses are made from oil...most of its clothing is oil based. They really aren't thinking this through.

    The kayaks, the paddles and the poles on the kayak are all made of petroleum derived materials and yet they protest petroleum company. Talking about self consciousness 🤡😬

    Chevron has improved so much since the 70's and 80's. I delivered papers in the projects in the 70's at 5:00 am with my dad on the week ends. The smell was really bad every time. I built there in the 80's and never smelled that again. Bought a home there in the 90's and never smelled it. We need to appreciate the changes rather than griping that it's not perfect.

    Fossil fuels are killing Mother Earth... but the auto industry keeps pushing giant trucks. The 80 thousand dollar climate destroyer.

    You’re right, it has improved a lot!15+ years of Richmond residents organizing to make our city healthier has contributed greatly to putting pressure on Chevron and its governing bodies, such as the Bay Area Air Quality Monitoring Board, to do the right thing thing and put less particulate matter etc into the local environment. It’s been an inspiring example of how change can happen over time but don’t expect corporations who are beholden to their shareholders to do it just because they know it’s the right thing to do. People power! ✊ And may our organizing in Richmond inspire other cities who are experiencing harm from pollution to take action too.
