The inspiring story of a successful struggle to preserve what's left of the natural world
County Mayo, Ireland, is spectacularly beautiful. Dolphins, whales, and seals frolic in bays, rivers teem with salmon. Into this tranquil, unspoiled region, in early 2002, came Shell Oil, announcing plans to build a gas refinery. Shell promised wonderful things: new jobs, improved roads, money for schools. Church officials called this project a "godsend," while honest, hard-working families, who had lived in Mayo for generations, certainly saw no harm in the project. But when the citizens of County Mayo realized what Shell actually intended to do, they rose up. Shamrocks & Oil Slicks tells the story of County Mayo--the fishermen, farmers, teachers, business people--who, motivated by love for their environment, their community, and their country, fought one of the planet's most powerful destroyers to a standstill.EXTRA 10 % discount with code: EXTRA
