a disaster example

I became really angry when I heard about the BP oil accident at the gulf of Mexico last year.  And I am afraid it didn't get better with time.  We have the "ability" to create so much destruction on the planet that we never get bored. The one disaster follows an other in the everlasting human made dance of horror.
Being so angry all the time for so long is not good for health or even our sanity. But, on the other hand, the apathy we can slip in as a reaction is even worst. How can someone react to this madness? I have a friend who boycotts BP by not buying his oil from them since then. Although I agree with him, I don't know if this is a solution. It's like BP is the bad guy and all the other super oil companies of the planet are ok, so we can buy from them. Because they didn't have an accident so far or because we forgot their accidents or because they cover their accidents better or something similar. And what is the solution? To boycott all oil companies?
What a great idea. We can boycott all oil companies and turn to more eco-friendly energy sources. But, in this case, who will protect all these innocent inventeurs who invent water-moving vehicles and stuff like this and have a tendency to disappear in thin air some dark night? And who will protect their protectors too?
It's like a cloud that covers any real revolutionary act to keep save the ruling status. A mist that disappears people and funds, so we will be always under the "protective" umbrella of big companies like BP and any other BP.
I don't want to think that we won't find a way to skip this vicious circle of power and weakness. Mainly when we deeply know for sure that it is a fake weakness because of laziness, stagnation and leisure. Because we are used in this situation and we became ourselves' worst enemies. Maybe this is the worst disaster of all.
