THE oil leaking from a stricken rig off Western Australia has emerged as the nation's third-biggest spill after the company responsible for the disaster admitted up to 400 barrels a day had flowed into the sea for more than three weeks.

And my ears still ring from the idiots yelling, Drill, baby, drill. It's bad enough, but it could have been SO much worse. No drilling, no leaking, no mess. It's time to permanently ban the d@mn things and bill the oil companies for cleaning up the mess. No more nasty, dirty, greasy, polluting fossil fuel rigs or mines or spouts or whatever. No more; from now on we go green.

There is a harmless Bacteria that can be used to clean up Oil Spills, yet they don't use it and instead they endanger lives, and the Environment.

It has been known for around 20 - 25 years.

Wasn't one of the arguments for drilling in the Alaskan refuge was that today's technology would make spills like this impossible?

This is disgusting. When are they going to get a handle on this and stop dumping and endangering our ocean animals!

Do you think this is an "accident" or another wake up call from Mother Earth? Are WE going to pretend WE do not get it or are we going to do what WE CAN by , 1- helping to change OUR cuture, 2- beginning with OURselves?

I AM glad to see more and more people consuming less and taking the personal steps towards sustainability and OUR salvation, it gives me ENERGY. You make a difference and are powerful , CHANGE yourself and tell a friend. Then I'll take care of the rest , it is cooper6ation that is replacing competition, and LOVE is in Charge of this Planet, NOW!!!!!!


REJOICE, WE ARE all one!!!!1:):):)

It feels Onederful. lol


thx Cher
