By now I'm sure you're well aware of the situation in the Gulf of Mexico with the oil disaster. Why am I blogging about this on here? Because I think that it is definitely something that needs to be blogged about and advocated considering the thousands of animal, sea, coastal, and human life casualties that the disaster is yielding. Environmental disasters affect human beings; the ripple effect of that disastrous spill that is ongoing will reverberate out to the rest of the U.S. and perhaps even Central America and beyond.
What a tragedy that a company with high-tech machinery to drill for oil has had such miserable failures in capping it. Have you seen the pictures of the animals drenched in oil? Sickening.... And what about those people who now have no idea what their future will be like? Tragic.... And keep in mind, this is the very same area that experienced the tragedy of Hurricane Katrina.....Talk about double-trauma.... I for one am angered at the lethargic pace of BP in cleaning up this mess, almost as if they're stuck in their own oil. And I am boycotting BP, albeit it is the nearest gas station to my house; I refuse to gas up at BP, and I'm even more enthusiastic about alternative fuels, electric cars, and hybrids. We as consumers need to ponder the consequences of off-shore drilling and continuous dependence on oil. I for one don't like the consequences that I see. What about you?
