This is horrible. The amount of oil being spill is tremendous. This oil will cause mass devastation to the Earth. I think we are lucky it happened in America, any other country may have tried to ignore it and nothing would have been done.
Something needs to be done to prevent this disaster from affect us. Soon, researchers say August will be when we will see the damaging affect of the oil washing ashore. The oil will start to dissipate on the surface and spread out, next the oil will cover the water completely. Aquatic life will pay the price for our ocean drilling, and so will seafood lovers.
It is already unsafe to continue eating seafood, the oil just makes it that much worse. BP needs to be boycotted, do not buy gasoline from them, do not buy anything from them. If you have the chance spread the word. Do not continue to support the company that did not support us.
If BP was so environmentally friendly they would not have racked up $730,000,000, thats million dollars, in environmental fines. Their safety valve was faulty, why? Was this not important enough to them? I have found a phone number for anyone who is willing to take time and try to help the environment, call 1-866-448-5816 if you would like to help clean-up after the oil spill. They should be able to help direct you to a place where you can help with this disaster.
