Help Clean-up The Gulf Coast Oil Spill Catastrophe
With no end in sight, and so many things being affected by the BP oil spill in the Gulf, it’s easy to feel helpless. I am especially heartbroken for the local fishing community, tourism, and any other local businesses that are sure to be impacted–if not destroyed–by this terrible tragedy. But, if you know me at all, then you will know that I am always looking for the bright side of things. In this situation, there may not be any bright side, but there are things we can do to help the situation, rather than just feeling helpless watching the oil gush on tv.
Here’s what you can do today:
1) Keep informed. For oil spill news and updates go here.
2) Text WILDLIFE to 20222 to donate $10 for the clean-up
3) Volunteer your time to help wildlife
4) Join National Wildlife Federation on Facebook
5) On Twitter
5) On Flickr
6) On YouTube
But most of all, what you can do is reduce your own personal dependence on oil and oil byproducts so that we can hope to avoid this type of disaster in the future…
