BP Oil Spill

It's ridiculous that it took a year for the media to start caring about the lasting effects of the BP oil spill.

Today I, with a group of concerned student, marched to Sheetz then around campus to protest the strangle-hold big oil has on our country and our future. Similar protests were held all over the country today in response to the one year anniversary of the oil spill.

Oil doesn't just go away. It take may years for ecosystems to rebuild after being destroyed by oil.

All those BP commercials are nonsense. People and wildlife are still suffering. We, as a country, need to move away from our oil addiction and demand that our government invests in cost-effective clean and sustainable energy.
