Carol Browner Just “Should” All Over Me!

by Jennifer on June 11, 2010

I asked a question to Carol Browner today on a live White House discussion about the Gulf Oil Spill. Very specifically I asked: “Why don’t we federalize the clean up process?” Carol responded that we should not use taxpayer dollars to pay for cleaning up a mess that BP should be paying for.

Could someone please pass me a towel? Carol, you totally just “should” all over me! We are not in a situation with the luxury of waiting for people who SHOULD do the right thing. We are in full crisis mode. Fifty-three days into crisis mode, to be exact. [click to continue…]

by Jennifer on June 1, 2010

Right now so many are frustrated and feeling quite helpless about the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, which will likely be leaking until the relief wells are complete in August. This is the moment when we MUST TAKE ACTION. Action is the antidote to despair, every time. Clean The Gulf Now has a perfect solution for you – something you can do right now.

How Earth Will Be Restored

May 31, 2010

This Memorial Day mourning, as the rain falls outside my window, my heart is very heavy, yet my soul is light. My heart aches for the man-made devastation being heaped upon our Gulf of Mexico specifically, but our Earth in general. The ongoing bloodletting deep under the water, paired with a violent chemical assault from [...]

PR Perversion, Or: BP Translated

May 31, 2010

In this overview by Tracey Barnett of The New Zealand Herald, she uncovers a list of recent and blatant lies by the BP PR team, made directly to the American public. Do not be deceived. Watching BP (and many government officials, for that matter) is like watching a carefully choreographed rendition of Lord of the [...]

The Video BP Doesn’t Want You To See

May 27, 2010

Good Morning America correspondent Sam Champion and Phillipe Cousteau. Jr. don haz-mat dry suits and get in the Gulf of Mexico, recording what they find along the way. I wish it surprised me, but it merely sickens me.

Oil + Sugar = Dirt??

May 24, 2010

The United States Coast Guard apparently has trouble thinking outside the box, which is why they don’t see any option other than “BP leads this effort or… no one“. I don’t think the government should take over the project from BP. FAR from it. I don’t think the government should attempt to be part of [...]

If You Build It, They Will Come

May 22, 2010

With tears of joy this week I read this story about Kevin Costner’s invention, which can collect polluted water, separate it and return water that is 97% clean. An invention he’s been working on since the Exxon Valdez disaster in 1989, Costner’s “Ocean Therapy” is potentially the cleanest and most effective solution for the oil in [...]

Impeach BP!

May 22, 2010

There’s enough information about the Gulf Oil Spill to make your head spin, your heart heavy and your stomach turn. It’s been suggested more than once that I “stop reading so much about it”. And I would love to, but someone has to hold BP accountable, and since it’s obviously not going to be the [...]

Potential Human Hazard: High

May 20, 2010

(See new update since below was posted) That’s the official safety description for the dispersants that our government approved for use in the gulf oil spill. By BP’s own admission they have conducted no studies on the material and acknowledge that this stuff could make a lot of people ill, or dead. And yet, our [...]

Learn From The Past – Gulf Oil Spill Volunteers MUST SEE

May 17, 2010

My husband’s family is from Alaska. They lived through the Exxon Valdez oil spill 21 years ago. Or rather, they’ve been living through it for the last 21 years. As it becomes glaringly apparent the BP oil “spill” will soon eclipse the Exxon Valdez in terms of size (if it hasn’t already – depending on [...]
