I’ve joined bloggersUnite, which is a group of bloggers dedicated to talking about different political issues, human rights issues and environmental issues…. just to name a few. It’s design is to get bloggers talking and spreading the word to help make our world better.
In the past, I’ve seen the requests and not taken action. BP changed that. Thank you BP and Tony Hayward for being incredibly irresponsible – not only with human life, but for messing up our eco system. Not only that, but BP was not only still ABLE to pay dividends to stockholders in light of this disaster … but still DID pay out dividends to stockholders until President Obama forced them to set up a fund for victims of the Gulf Oil Spill. You can read about this from The Wall Street Journal’s account.
Never mind the fact that they STILL HAVE NOT STOPPED THE OIL LEAK. They’ve also lost 11 lives and injured 17 others in this disaster within their own company. I guess this isn’t all that big of a deal to BP CEO Tony Hayward since he was taking some time off to attend the J.P. Morgan Asset Management Round the Island Race to watch his yacht “bob” race according to federalnewsradio.com and the London AP. I’m really glad Tony Hayward’s yacht can sail on nice clean water. At this point, I’m pretty disgusted by BP and their CEO Tony Hayward.
I hope that anyone who can volunteer will … I’ve embedded a widget below to help people search for ways they can help.
Also .. I was shocked to see how the spill is spreading. This past week with the help of NOAA a new website with an interactive map has been established called Geoplatform. This map allows you to select a visual of the spill daily. Want to see how the oil has spread from June 16th to today? You’ll be surprised.
If there ever was a time to think more about greener solutions … now is that time. I’m happy Kevin Costner’s company could help with the oil clean up and that he’s profiting from this … but I would LOVE to hear more people supporting and finding greener solutions to avoid these issues in the future.
The only way to get rid of these disasters is to delete our dependence on oil. That means cutting oil out of our consumption.
What cleaner energy sources have you heard of? What suggestions do you have for personal ways to stop using or limiting oil consumption? Link to them below — tell me about them! Done a post about it … link it in the comments so we can read it!

Thanks to bloggersunite bloggers all around the word are able to know about this great tragedy. I am from Bangladesh and i don’t watch TV that much. I didnt know about the gulf oil spill before i ran into BU.
its a really sad thing thats happening out there. The oil spill has led a great danger for the environment especially for the marine and wild habitats of the gulf. I hope this issue gets resolved soon. As a blogger i have published two posts, one is about facts and another about how we can help the effected wildlife…
best wishes.
