The Shell oil spill - has finally stopped - Join NRDC and Robert Redford in preventing anymore disasters like this one.

Just a short blog about the Shell oil spill, which finally seems to have been stopped - after 9.4 million barrels of heavy and thick oil have been spilled into the the Mexican Gulf - a true environmental disaster. We can only pray that this will never happen again.

I therefore urge you to support the NRDC and Robert Redford in their fight against any more of these oil drilling environmental disasters. Send a mail direct to President Obama, urging him to declare a 7-year moratorium on offshore drilling in the Arctic - use the NRDC link to get to the pre-made mail message to Obama.

PS. join The NRDC on their BioGems Defenders Facebook page and get the latest updates on their work to protect America's Arctic.

Send a pre-made mail to The Obama administration - it looks like this.

Sand sculpture against the oil spill

All over the world people feel disgusted and sad, when they see all the terrible picture from the BP oil spill, which leads to a variety of reactions.
Here tree sand sculpture artists, are showing their feelings about the BP oil spill at a sand sculpture festival in Denmark.
A very beautiful pice of work but also a powerful signal, that we all want this to end NOW!!!

The tree artists are Pavel Mylnikov from Russia, Sudarsan Pattnaik from India and Martin Tulinius from Denmark. They used 168 ton of sand to create this sculpture.
