Howdee all,
Remember that terrible Oil “spill” in the Gulf?
Do you think it is over and done with?
Do you think that animal, plant life have recovered?
As many of us get ready for the Holidays..and fun with family and friends..
Remember that.
Its not over..
Its just the beginning of knowing..
Of knowing what the cost will be..for the humans, birds, animals, plant life, sea life and myriads of other things effected by..Negligence.
Forever……………………

Twin Cities Naturalist – Short Attention Span: Remember the Gulf?
Unfortunately I fear the effects of this man made disaster will bear it's head for a while, maybe even decades, when will we ever learn.
ReplyDeleteSuch a sad situation! Thank you for not letting us forget about this.
ReplyDeleteI will look at those blogs. Thanks for reminding me.
ReplyDeleteDawn, a great post and we need a reminder. The gulf will never be the same.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dawn. Even though the Gulf Coast is a long way away from me (a birder in Canada) and many others, it is of critical interest to all. It is a birding stop-over, a winter birding area, and besides, it is a (formerly) beautiful area where this man-made travesty simply should not have happened. But it did happen.
ReplyDeleteWe can't let the issue disappear from the media or people's minds. That is what the oil industry et al hopes will happen - what usually happens with us with our 'sound bite' attention spans.
Thanks again and safe travelling when you leave for your Christmas destinations.
Thanks friends...I am hoping the best for the Gulf..but, things dont look so good..I am afraid this will effect things for many years to come.
