For one, i live in Canada and nobody owns their own oil well here. Oil spills can be cleaned up, there is no lasting contamination if done right. Nobody in this thread will argue against that we need another clean energy source. Where I live, we recycle 75% of our garbage, 15-20% goes into my garden, with about 10% going to the landfill. I agree, plastics are bad, we have too much and I was never in favor of switching from glass. Its march 30th and I still have a foot of snow in my yard. Ive lived in this area most of my life and the weather isnt getting warmer here, its getting colder.
25 years after oil spill..On the anniversary, state senator Berta Gardner is pushing for Alaskan politicians to demand that the US government forces ExxonMobil Corporation to pay up a final $92 million (£57 million), in what has become the longest-running environmental court case in history. The money would primarily be spent on addressing the crippled herring numbers and the oiled beaches.
"There's still damage from the spill. The oil on the beaches is toxic and hurting wildlife. We can't just say we've done what we can and it's all over – especially with drilling anticipated offshore in the Arctic Ocean – this is significant for Alaska and people around the world," she told The Telegraph.
Do you remember when they said the earth will go colder rather than hotter..

We didn't know it would still be toxic now and no one wants to admit it. Of 32 animal types, habitats and natural resources monitored, only 13 have recuperated fully. The ecosystem will never entirely recover."
