1.Esso: For earning billions by destroying the planet and not spend any in finding other alternatives or renewable source of energy tops the list.

2.Shell: For contributing 40% of oil spills worldwide Shell get #2. Also 14% of it's oil comes from Nigeria its dictatorship military government protects the interest of multinational oil corporations and not the people. Double burn!

3.Proctor & Gamble: Testing products on animals on a regular basis causing pain and terror.

4.Nestle: Responsible for undermining breastfeeding as a potentially hazardous. "105 million children die each year because they are not adequately breastfed."

5.Nike: For the poor and overworked workers in Asia and Latin America Nike gets #5.

Others:

Sheraton Hotels:

For building a massive hotel spending $100M in Addis Ababa in Ethiopia. Placing a hotel in the midst of the poorest parts of town. Evicting thousands of people for a hotel to house UN delegates while they are there for conferences and charging them $500 a day. Imagine being there and eating well while people outside are dying of starvation. "Seconds, anyone?"

GAP:

(This one I'm guilty of supporting)The Fisher Family, founders of GAP is worth billions and its CEO makes 24,000 an hour yet they can't afford to pay a decent wage to their workers. Even with all that money its still not enough for them to stop logging and killing the ecosystem in North California. For the price of a nice pair of low rise, button fly jeans its not worth it.

Bacardi:

While the US is still supports the sanctions against Cuba. As Bacardi promotes its rum as real cuban rum they cont' lobbies the US gov' to keep these sanctions in place.
