This is a really interesting site which lists the top ten worst corporations for the year of 2005. The list includes a brief paragraph about each corporation explaining some of the things it has done ans what it continues to do. Some of the corporations included in the list include: Exxon Mobil, Ford, and BP.
This relates to what we were talking in class because not only does it list the worst contributers to the environment but since these corporations are so high as to be within the top ten, most likely they have been in the top ten before. This suggests that these corporations don't care what they are doing as long as they are reaping benefits, they will be content with themselves. - katie on 2006-12-11
