My article that I posted was about the Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill and how there were many disasters because of it; financial and environmental.

The question that I asked was: Environmental tragedies still exist today; what can we do today to mitigate these problems?

I received these comments:

·         I think we can be more informed and aware of the environmental problems happening around us

Open the keystone pipeline

·         We need to be more educated about issues taking place and know how to act upon them

·         Better preparation to natural disasters.

·         We should have stricter building codes so that buildings are better prepared for natural disasters.

·         Increase food storage that we will be better prepared

·         Have more caution now, so that it will protect our future generation.

·         We should prepare evacuation routes through the city for safer leaving during environmental tragedies

·         We can increase sanitation awareness

·         We should increase awareness and encourage hand washing.

These are my own questions:

How do environmental tragedies affect you on a daily basis? Why should we care about them?

·         Environment tradgedies affect me on a daily basis because of the lack of hygiene and how people treat the environment. We can care for these by making preparations beforehand in order to better handle the tradgedies when they occur.

In your opinion are environmental hazards something we should be concerned about on a daily basis?

·         We should definitely be concerned on a daily basis about these hazards because they can affect our health and the health of others.

Why should we care about something that happened over 30 years ago?

·         Its just like history if we don’t learn from the past we are bound to repeat it. We can learn from the mistakes we made in order to handlke the same situations better in the future.
