Oil Spill: 42 thousand gallons a day
Just south of Mississippi there is an oil spill that is spewing out thousands of gallons of oil into the ocean, killing fish, and ocean creatures as it goes. It is now at least a mile long. When will we learn to start conserving our resources and safeguards to prevent, or at least contain such a thing. The solution is weeks away. Current thought and discussion revolves around how to save commercial fisheries, leisure areas, etc. Not sure if there is a thought of the irresponsiblity of all of this on wildlife.
Remember when in 1989 the Exxon Valdez spilled over 10.8 million gallons. So far the current disaster has spilled over 290,000 gallons of oil. Even if this spill is not as big as the Exxon spill, it will still have devastating repercussions for the environment.
Do you have something to say?
