Oil Spills

By Quentin, Ethan, and Sophie

Oil spills will destroy our planet if we don’t do anything soon...

Oil spills destroy millions of things every year including...

Water...

Animals...

And the environment.

Pretty soon, animals will die and species will go extinct...

Is that what you want?

When oil covers an animal's fur or feathers, it can't swim, fly, or stay

warm. If the oil is not cleaned off the animal, it could be injured or...

DIE

Fur seal pups drown if oil sticks their flippers or on their bodies.

There are only 7 species of sea turtles left due to oil spills.

Brown pelicans can drown and get sick from oil. There are only 34,000 brown

pelicans left on Earth.

Oil spreads faster than anything combined can clean it up...

In the meantime, oil is destroying many things...

STOP THIS!!!

However, there are ways to stop this from spreading too much.

First, there are booms. Booms float in the water like a fence that stops oil.

Dispersants spray out chemicals that separate oil into droplets, which mixes into the water which makes it not as

deadly.

Another way is power washing. Power washing sprays out water with so

much force, that the oil eventually dissolves.

Other methods to clean up oil spills

include skimmers, pumps, oil bags, tanks, power packs, and silt curtains.

But what can you do to help out?

Use less oil!

To use less oil, you can ride a bike, walk, jog, or get an electrical car...

Buy fewer things that have oil-made plastic in them or are packaged in it...

Drive your car less...

Or donate to an oil spill organization.

Please help... every single person counts!!!
