Using your logic....If your wife told you to pick-up your dirty underwear from the bathroom floor....Is she being environmentally friendly or an ecoweenie?

Each of us would do something different if we were the CEO of Chevron, But then that's probably why we are NOT the new CEO. They hire the person to handle it the way they not the way we want.
I don't think litigation in Ecuador for something that happened 25 years ago is a very good gage of where the CEO wants to take the company.

Chevron has become more expensive than most stationstions locally, yet there are still Texaco stations and generally they are $0.10 to $0.15 less/Gal. So what gives with that. Also Personally I'm concerned with some recent dealings involving other international companies. What is their link with Winn Dixie and their gas disc. card now they've announced reducing that disc. in half. mainly good at Chevron stations. I think I will be careful supporting Chevron until I have time to get more Info.

The Valdez mishap was unfortunate and irresponsible. However, its impact was way overblown. The expensive cleanup process that was required of Exxon was ridiculous. Several studies since then have shown the environments affected by oil spills recover on their own in about 5-7 years without any type of intervention. The expensive cleaning methods that the EPA required result in 15-20 years before environmental recovery. Just another example of extreme environmental crap based on no scientific studies has and continues to hurt America. The Global warming BS falls in the same category.

If I were the new CEO I would tell these green weenies to take a hike, and get back to the business of building a strong company, capable of employing hundreds of American workers. I have listened to the mindless dribble of these whining morons long enough. All it has done is damage the economy of this once great nation. Its time to turn a deaf ear to it and bring America back to her former glory.

See, now you're assuming that CEO's have everyday human emotions.
Corporations exist for two reasons, to maximize profits for the shareholders, and to remove personal liability for the executives.
Remember, Capitalism is *only* an economic model.
