If you haven’t heard of Pablo Fajardo yet it’s definitley about time you were introduced. Pablo is currently suing oil giant Chevron Corp for a reported $6 billion dollars due to what he claims is the complete failure to clean up billions of gallons of toxic wastewater that has been dumped into areas around the Amazon River. Pablo ( a former farmer turned activist) is also saying that this illegal dumping of waste and subsequent failure to clean up said waste has dramatically increased the number of cancer related health problems in the area.
In an effort to bring this fight to the worlds attention, Pablo was invited to be a special guest at Live Earth. With a meeting scheduled with Al Gore and having already met Sting, Pablo told reporters “It is a little strange. I never thought I’d be at a place like this”
After spending years trying to get the U.S courts hear his case, Pablo was forced to seek an alternative route and is now presenting his fact in the Ecuadorian town of Lago Agrio.
