Deepwater Horizon:
Gulf of Mexico Offshore Oil Drilling Crisis
Pollution, blowouts, leaks, oil spills, toxic chemicals, damage
to environmental habitat, endangered species, climate disruption?
Shut down offshore oil drilling. When will people stop driving, consuming
oil and polluting? We need car-free cities, bicycle
cities, eco-cities, local organic farms, rooftop gardens, backyard gardens,
local agriculture jobs.
NO OFFSHORE OIL DRILLING: Take Action! Over its lifetime, a single
oil rig can: Dump more than 90,000 metric tons of drilling fluid and
metal cuttings into the ocean; Drill between 50-100 wells, each dumping
25,000 pounds of toxic metals, such as lead, chromium and mercury, and
potent carcinogens like toluene, benzene, and xylene into the ocean;
Pollute the air as much as 7,000 cars driving 50 miles a day. -- compiled
