I got this from the Friends for Change website."Since April 20th, the world’s eyes have been focused on the Gulf of Mexico. Thick, brown oil has been gushing from a deep sea oil well, spilling into the Gulf and causing one of the most serious environmental disasters in the United States.
By April 26th, the oil slick had grown to the size of Rhode Island. Today, after millions of gallons of oil have flowed into the ocean, scientists estimate the spill could be bigger than the states of Maryland and Delaware combined. Scientists say this is the largest oil spill in the history of the country—threatening hundreds of miles of coastline in more than five states and creating danger for countless species of wildlife and the people who live along the coast."
