Exxon Valdez

BBC reminds me it's been 19 years since the Exxon Valdez oil tanker ruined a large swath of Alaska's shoreline and coastal marine environment, due to operating a single-hulled vessel in treacherous, tidal, ice floe laden waters. Anything to save money, of course.

I would gladly have paid 5 cents more per gallon if it facilitated responsible environmental stewardship.

Instead, this anniversary marks 19 years since I last purchased gasoline from Exxon. I wonder how much my one-man boycott has cost them. Probably not enough.

Hmmm...I just realized I can really hold a grudge.
