What can we do to stop the RDA:s of our real world?

[redpaintednavi]

In Avatar the big company RDA are depleting Pandora of its resources.

Here on Earth we have many smilar companies that many times with the support of more or less corrupt governments and authorities go out and plunder the resources in countries all over the world. The action of these coprporations are destroying immense environmental and human values, turning some areas into barren wasteland and enslaving or even exterminating people and annihilating whole cultures.

Just a few examples:

-In India the London based mining company Vedanta tries to destroy the holy mountains of the people Dongria Kondh. Fotunately enough, Indian government try to stop the company after pressure from an international opinion.

-Oil giant Chevron-Texaco are destroying rainforest in the Amazon Equador and turning the beautiful lands of indigenous people into a waste dump.

-Lundin Oil from Sweden went in a drilled for oil in areas of Southern Sudan where the fundamentalist muslim government had exterminated and displaced thousands of people belonging to local, indigenous non muslim peoples.

These examples can be multiplied but you get the principle of it.

The question is, what can we do about it? We are in some way taking part in all this since we are consumers of products that are made of resources and raw materials extracted by these, or similar, companies. How can we change are behaviour to put these kind of companies out of business, or at least make them radically change their behaviour? How can we participate in saving indigenous peoples from destruction? How can we do to save natural environments and habitats, like the forests of the Amazon, for future generations?
