The fabulous YESMen along with Global Exchange are up to their activist antics bouncing their famous Halliburton Survivaball Executives down the San Francisco streets to protest against the profit before people and planet position of Chevron around the world.

In 2009, San Ramon, CA based Chevron became the fifth largest corporation in the world. And seven out of the ten largest corporations are oil companies. Despite greenwashing campaigns to describe itself as environmentally focused, Chevron has committed less than 3 per cent of its capital and exploratory budget on alternative energy investments.

Over the last decade, Chevron-affected communities from California, Ecuador, Burma, the Philippines, Nigeria, Iraq and beyond, have increasingly worked in coordination to hold Chevron and the entire oil industry in check.

Chevron has successfully lobbied to keep California from enacting extractive oil taxes.
