1. I suppose you know what a shell is. They also say
seashells. They even have a tongue-twister based
on the word. It goes:
“She sells seashells by the seashore...”
Click on the phrase, or the shell, you will
understand.
And if you are brave, as I don’t doubt you are, try out
one of the tongue-twisters, they’re fun.
2. But of course, as you know, Shell is also an oil
company, whose logo is, precisely, a shell. What do
you know about this corporation?
You can have a quick look at their website by
clicking on the shell. But even better than that, you
just have to play a video advert that they published a
few years ago.
“There are riches beyond belief under here.
Beyond belief, but not beyond reach.”
These are the flower gardens, about a hundred
miles out in the Gulf of Mexico. And this man is
one of the gardeners. For over thirty years he
and others like him have worked to protect one
of the world’s finest examples of marine life,
located amidst this ocean’s other great treasure:
abundant reserves of oil and gas. Much needed
in an energy-hungry world.
“It’s not actually that difficult to protect places
like this. It just takes care, commitment and
cooperation.”
He’s not alone in his beliefs. The question is:
how long before such thinking is as widely
recognized as the organization he works for?
