Jump To Comment: 1 2 3....... i dont buy Shell, i subscribe to adbusters, i read Monbiot, i do my bit with what influence i can......basically... i'm on your side but.........
i have also been a recipient of the Shell Live Wire awards scheme when i was setting up my (ethically sound) business many years ago. the awards are for young Irish entrepreneurs, the majority of whom are good people with their morals in the right place. Of those we met at the awards many are doing very good things for the world at the moment. It is not easy getting a business off the ground in Ireland and the prize money and learning experience provided by LiveWire can help young Irish people who are taking risks and getting things done (young Irish people not unlike like activists, in a way)
its not a high profile event, your protest wont get publicity, the main people affected will be the young Irish people trying hard to create something.
before you decide to protest at the LiveWire awards, go to adbusters.org and see if there's not some anti-Shell activity more productive you could be doing with the time. Especially look at the sly communications you can put in stations that will make customers think.
Hound 'em by all means, but use your imagination.
Greenwash is Greenwash. Shell sponsor these awards to improve their brand image while brutally destroying communities around the world (including in Ireland).
Anti-Capitalists should be against these awards per se, whoever was sponsoring them.
It shouldn't be picketed, it should be disrupted. Severely.
Greenwash is Greenwash.............accepted.
"Anti-Capitalists should be against these awards per se, whoever was sponsoring them"
so anti-capitalists should be against awards for young entrepreneurs regardless of who is sponsoring them?
If we want to stop fuel monopoly, if we want to have shopping alternatives to Tesco and Lidl, if we want the possibilty of realistically sustaining ourselves without funding "big business", the reality is that the viable alternatives are being built by some of Irelands entrepreneurs. fight the bad guys, and accept that some of the good guys will provide alternatives and make money while being good guys. either that or live in a tree / go home and scold your mother for buying nestle
