Hurricane season, oil spill a bad combination
To the editor:
Thoughts about the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico…:
Hurricane Season oh, no! What will happen if a hurricane invades the Gulf of Mexico?
Many things have changed Earth; now the oil is changing it too. The oil spill has already been a dramatic problem but will it get worse? Maybe.
Have you ever thought of what would happen if a hurricane came into the Gulf of Mexico? Hurricane season is from June 1 to Oct. 30, at the same time the oil spill has not been treated!
Mind all the birds and animals already killed. What would happen if a hurricane comes, sucked up the oil, came on land, and rained oil all over everything?
The oil on the surface would mostly be gone, so the animals on the surface of the ocean (like dolphins and birds) would be kind of safe and so would the shores be, but what about the animals the oil rained on?
To think about how the oil could harm lots of our famous plants and animals, in or out of the water, drives me crazy.
It would mostly hurt lots of rare, endangered, and special birds and other animals, especially in the Everglades.
So think about how to stop the oil spill before a hurricane comes, and send in your thoughts about it, like I did!
Oh, and just one more thing about how dangerous this oil is: If we put the bomb to stop the oil spill, the oil will go to the beaches and kill animals around it. It will also kill the animals that would migrate, and people who normally eat these animals would not have as much food! Not to mention what happens if an underwater bomb goes of (do fish like an underwater bomb, will they survive, if they are still alive anyway after this oil spill?)
So please find a better way to take care of that oil spill!!!
