Ohhhh Sweet Irony!!!
If Shell is so concerned about helping people, they need to start by adressing their own record of human rights abuses and their role as a MAJOR world polluter. Shell has a particularly negative record in Africa, ironically a place where thousands starve to death every day.

Shell - your careless and inexcusable business practices are morally inappropriate to begin with, but then to openly criticise those that desire to be part of the solution (instead of the problem) is flat out insulting.
