My Thoughts on the Gulf
I know I have been blowing up Twitter with these stories but we are really not seeing the big picture. I have seen a small example of what it looks like out there this past weekend and I will tell you, it is heartbreaking. Dead animals all around, white beaches and blue waters are now brown and rusty. It is sick.
Without people seeing what it really looks like, then you can not grasp the devastation it has brought to my home, to many other homes. So many people rely on the Gulf for jobs, for serenity, for more than most people can understand. This is now a place of sadness, of death, of carelessness.
It is hard to put a price on the damage that has been caused but to sit back and think of the many families that will struggle because the waters they fished are dead, the endangered species that are now beyond help, and the fact that it will never be that same is enough to bring anyone to tears.
I hope everyone sees that this is not just a “Gulf problem” as I have been told. That’s utter bullshit to put it nicely. Think about it: Hurricane season is upon us, hurricanes churn the waters and bring up many things from the bottom. BP has sunk a LOT of oil. What will wash up from the storms? Once it washes up…where does it go? Into our ground waters. We rely on these waters for crops, for drinking, for a lot. This toxic mess will fill our waters with Lord knows what. People do not think of this.
I am going to see about setting up something to help. I will not be able to go over as much as I want but I will also set up teams to head over for a weekend and help. I will not be someone who sits back and bitches about the issue. I will put in my time, my energy, and my ideas to help.
What will you do?
