The Worst Ecological Disaster in American History

























I don't know about you guys, but this oil leak is really upsetting me. I think that many of us see the footage on TV and think, "Wow - that looks bad", and then go along their way without thinking about it again until you hear it mentioned again. I have to admit, I am guilty of the same thing. But I am aware that this is not just a spill that you clean up and then everything is back to normal. This oil, as you know continues to leak into the Gulf waters, and the eco-system will suffer from this more than we even are capable of knowing right now. I think what really brings this home the most to me is watching this Live Feed streaming video from the leak source. If you click HERE you can see LIVE video of the oil as it is spewing out into the sea. It is terribly disturbing.

It is sickening, but unless there is something we can do about it, we shouldn't let the knowledge of the horror that is happening destroy us.

True, but we should be AWARE of it. That is what is needed now. Awarenes.
