Gulf Oil Spill

I am deeply saddened by what is happening in the Gulf of Mexico ... the pelicans and turtles covered in oil, the waters depleted of oxygen, the tar balls rolling in with the surf. It infuriates me that our dependence on oil has led to this event. But let's not forget that this quantity of oil and more enters the oceans every year from other accidents, spillage during ship to shore transfer, and so on. I deeply respect and value those people with hearts full of compassion that are reaching out to rescue as many fallen animals and cleanup damaged ecosystems as possible. Wish I could be there to help.
