Water&Oil

For years now I support the WNF a.k.a. WWF, and what really bothers me is the oil pollution in the ocean. These oildissaster proof that drilling for oil goes with great risks. Particulary in sensitive areas like the Arctic, the consequences are horrible.

Since april 22 2010, oil is leaking from the sunken oilplatform Deepwater Horizon in the Golf of Mexico. Millions of liters of oil have streamed into the Golf. The oil slick has a surface of my country, the Netherlands. That's amazingly big and I can only imagine what this does for the ocean and everything that lives in it.

I appreciate president Barack Obama for forbidding Shell to start drilling for the coast of Alaska.
I just can't understand how our society got so lost. That gaining oil and luxury wins from the health and wellbeing of the creatures we have to live with. Luckily thousands of helpers are trying to make sure the coastline doesn't  get smeared with the oil to help animals in need. There are also a lot of people who are helping the hurt animals which are covered in oil.


We have to stand up for the wellbeing of our planet, and we have to stand up for those who can't ; the animals. the world is theirs just as well as it is ours. We have to fight people and organisations who believe otherwise and who are willing to harm nature for gaining more wealth. It is awful that after what happened in the Golf of Mexico, Shell wants to start drilling in one of the most vulnerable places of the earth. For Obama to forbid the drilling is great, but for companies like Shell to even think it is okay to gain wealth at the expense of our nature.. I just can't believe that. We have to stand up, not only talk about it, but actually do somethingt, because if the animals can't, and the people won't, who will?
