This is not a book on my shelf, nor in a library but still enlightening. Or perhaps more intriguing, giving one cause to ponder, to deliberate. Today I checked out the Blogs of Note and came across one called Washington's Blog. It's latest entry is what caught my attention, that of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The photos are graphic of the damage caused to wildlife. It is saddening and makes one want to see justice or amends made. But, can anything, any amount of money, substitute for the lives lost? For those whose livelihood depends on the fishing industry this is catastrophic. Residents in Louisiana and Mississippi, still rebuilding as a result of Hurricane Katrina, now face certain financial despair due to the devastation of the shrimp, fish and shellfish industry that they built their independance on.
Washington's Blog shares with the reader photos and information not readily available to the public due to previous publication bans. Herein you find the answers to questions you may have asked about the condition of the area, the progress made, the implications to the wildlife and humans alike.
If it affects our planet, it affects us. Take a moment to read this blog:
