I chose the BP spill that
happened in 2010. I was amazed what affects the spill is still having on the
area and thought it might be good to inform the public about this terrible
situation. So much still needs to be done to ensure this is cleaned up and to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Coburn I think it's good that BP was held accountable for
the oil spill. Voilà.

Partridge So, if oil spills are prevented... we don't waste
oil, AND we wont kill beautiful things. Sounds like a plan to me!
Quotes from People
Amber – We need to find
other ways to create energy. Cleaner energy is needed so we can easily avoid
such problems in the future. It is sad that our earth is being destroyed so
greedy people can have money
Jordan – BP did a good job
cleaning some of the Gulf Coast, but they obviously missed a spot.
Spencer – Besides writing
complaint letters, is there something else I can do to make a difference. I
would try to clean it up myself, but I have now idea how to do it.
Questions
Were you aware that environmental tragedies of
this magnitude still exist today?
I was aware that things of this magnitude still happen. I
watch the news daily and am up to date through political blogs. I always
thought they were isolated cases like oil spills. I was shocked to hear in the
video that there are other areas like Love Canal that are just time bombs.
Do you believe that environmental crises affect
you/your family today?
As of this very moment, I am not overly concerned. I have
heard about radioactive Radon entering the buildings I am in, but there is not
a lot I can do about things like that.
It does concern me somewhat that I live in California and some of the
nuclear power plants are somewhat close. If an earthquake were to happen, it
would potentially have some horrible consequences.
In your opinion are environmental hazards
something we should be concerned about on a daily basis?
I think air quality should always be a large
concern. Air is a necessary resource for
every aspect of our lives. We need it as
do most other things that live. Air quality is something that can be somewhat controlled.
We can drive more energy efficient vehicles, use renewable energy, and walk a
little bit more.
