1.
If problems like this do exist we should find
ways to make everyone get involved in the cleanup.
2.
Money should be invested to learn how to clean
up efficiently and quickly.
3.
Money should be invested by the government to
find a chemical to clean up the oil quickly.
4.
I think that more money should be invested on
learning how to do a clean up properly.
5.
I think we should make the company completely
responsible for the cleanup or they will just do it again.
6.
I think the company should be responsible for
the cleanup and overseen by the government and scientist to make sure it’s done
right.
7.
I think holding the company responsible for its actions is
really important for making sure they and other similar companies understand
that they cant do things like that and not receive consequences. One possible
way is making them entirely financially responsible for the cleanup and have
the cleanup supervised by scientists/those who know what would be the best
route (else they might cut corners). Furthermore, there could be a kind of
strikes system, where after such a huge disaster like this one, the company
would promise to change the weaknesses in their system that allowed this to
happen, and be checked for those changes, and have a very severe consequence
should it happen again.

i felt he was a little
aggressive in his questioning of the BP spokesperson (I have never been a fan
of the attack dog style reporting especially against a spokesperson who does
not really have any power to change things). I feel that, in all reality, BP
really should have paid more and had the government and private companies do
most of the clean up. It was very obvious (in this and other interview of the
time) that BP was most worried about the PR damage than the actual spill's
damage on the ecosystem. At this point i feel that the only solution is to
slowly mop up the damage. BP claimed that they would pay to have the entire
gulf cleaned up, it is unrealistic that it was cleaned up when they said they
would and they should be paying a full time crew to clean it up for the next
decade. This will be a slow clean up and the only real solution as far as i can
see is to get as far away from gas and oil as possible (we should have been
working to get away from them a long time ago). Basically, i feel BP should
just accept full responsibility and pay for a few clean up ships to do mop up
for the next decade, because that is how long it will probably take, but I feel
that the only final solution will be to get away from oil all together.

I think BP needs to be
the ones who take care of the clean up. They need to be responsible for this
and be supervised so that it actually gets done with consequences if they don't
do it or if it happens again.
1 . If BP is responsible for the mess, then BP needs to be
responsible for cleaning it up. Granted, I know that that doesn't always work
that way so it would help if somehow the government could make them take
responsibility and help them along the way. The government makes us as citizen
take responsibility of our stupid actions, so why not make businesses do the
same. How to do that exactly, I don't know
How do environmental tragedies affect you on a daily basis?
Why should we care about them?
In the oil
spill it affected everything. The fish that would normally come out of that
area are now not edible and other animals such as birds are no longer able to
fly after getting covered with oil, which will ultimately kill them. This is
just a bad situation.
In your opinion are environmental hazards something we
should be concerned about on a daily basis.
No I think
it is something we need to ready for but we do not need to be concerned every
day that this will happen.
Were you aware that environmental tragedies of this
magnitude still exist today?
Yes with
the TV and Internet a tragedy of this of this scale usually does not go
unnoticed. I think this is good so that everyone can be aware and take action
so that these kind of problems do not happen again.
