Those on the frontline are often forgotten. @ZeroCarbonSoc gives a platform to those marginalised voices. Hear the people of Bayelsa State tell their story about how oil spills have impacted their lives. Watch here: https://t.co/b39p8slbKH

Since 1956 we have suffered in relative silence. The people and land of Bayelsa State has been at the mercy of oil giants, who have profited off of our land at the expense of our environment and lives. Thank you @ZeroCarbonSoc for challenging those who hold the keys to change.
