The enviromental hackers!

The environment has recently become one of the most discussed issues, but there`s still people out there who do not really take a look to our planet and see what we have done to it and instead of helping us to conserve what we still have, they destroy habitats and the beauty of our planet.

For this week`s blog we had to read the article "Yes Men!" which talks about how a group of environmental protectors hacked CHEVRON`s new program called "We Agree". Chevron had to protect its image sending emails to its clients and representatives, explaining them how a group of people prank them.

The real issue in this article is not the fact that this group of people hacked Chevron`s website, but the message they`re trying to transmit which gives Chevron a bad image. The main goal of this "prank" may be to make the company`s owner and other companies realize the damage they`re doing to the planet, specially after what happened in the Gulf of Mexico where a lot of oil spilled into the ocean damaging a big section of the environment, and wild life as well.

I found this image in the net, and it actually depicts the reality that people may leave in the future if we continue destroying our natural life and resources. 


We must take care of our environment, and I believe that this group of people, even though they may have done something illegal, they had an awesome idea and stood up for our planet!
