In 2007, the oil spill at Francisco Bay poured 58000 gallons of oil in the bay covering birds and other wildlife.
We really need to treat this as an environmental risk that affects us all.
As declared by the US Government, this spill could continue as much as ninety days.
Florida, with its beaches known to inhabit marine life will see devastation beyond comprehension.
In the attempt to extract oil from well below the ocean floor this is upsetting our marine and deep sea life and as well posses a risk to future oil spills.
Americans uses about 8 billion barrels of oil per year and it's projected that at least 1000 barrels will spill in the Gulf of Mexico over the next 40 years.
Although Canadian provinces such as Newfoundland and Labrador, as well as Nova Scotia already has been taking measures to prevent these oil spill disasters.
We are all affected by the need for our marine and wild life.
If we can start to harness the powers of wind, solar and alternative energy we could do away with the need for offshore drilling that is upsetting our ecosystem.
There are many things each of us can do to contribute to prevent these unnecessary disasters
