Mapping hell stations

Kind of déjà vu: hell stations. Remember the last days of Apartheid in South Africa. Shell was banned in Europe by a lot of people because of the wrong choices they made. Removing the “S” from their logo was done often.
Now Amnesty International is doing something similar with the use of Google maps to publicly highlight the damage Shell is doing in the Niger Delta (see Amnesty’s report for further details). You can help by taking photos that obscure the S of the Shell sign from view, and sending them to Amnesty.
