My heart has been breaking for what is happening to my beautiful Louisiana, and now the other beautful states that I have visited/lived in are well on their way to suffering too :(<br /><br />I agree that you can't change the world on your own, but you never know the impact your baby steps have on the future and I fully believe in 'never give up.'<br /><br />TerriAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6487456.post-6265296135574088962010-06-05T07:18:48.529-05:002010-06-05T07:18:48.529-05:00I think there are manageable things we can all do,...I think there are manageable things we can all do, recycle, buy locally. Since I am a houswife, I try not to drive everyday, I usually get out one or two days a week and combine trips and I stay within a small radius of my home most of the time. <br /><br />I think if I wanted to directly do something for the BP crisis I would volunteer to help clean the animals.<br /><br />I know this has been beyond frustrating and upsetting for you! Every time I turn on the news the images just break my heart.Katrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17751627785449667223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6487456.post-10623173708204638562010-06-05T00:27:54.096-05:002010-06-05T00:27:54.096-05:00Thank you for a thought provoking post.

But I am a firm believer that every bit helps.<br /><br />I do boycott, because often that is the only thing I have to make myself heard - my money in my pocket. I try as best I can not to buy anything from China, I don't buy gas from Exxon/Mobil etc... <br /><br />Things are a bit easier here in Germany - its easy to get local products from local farmers, they recycle almost everything, and I can take pubic transportation or ride my bike.Sylviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16222033866586789682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6487456.post-29328832617720796272010-06-04T21:54:42.203-05:002010-06-04T21:54:42.203-05:00You don't have to be perfect.

It really made me sick to see birds covered in that stuff - they said as thick as pancake batter.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00792171420098351093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6487456.post-83735810355199679152010-06-04T18:31:18.865-05:002010-06-04T18:31:18.865-05:00It's an awful thing that's happened and I ...It's an awful thing that's happened and I don't see many people in high places taking responsibility or moving very fast to fix it. I think about you all the time when I hear it is headed to the pan handle.

But, how do we fight this ecoterrorism? And that is how I see what is happening in the Gulf. Surely, BP should have had plans for tragedy. And 46 days later the pipe is still spewing oil? And Obama is "furious". What about the lives being ruined, the habitat, the future of our kids? Furious - that's it???<br /><br />Sorry for the rant - my apologies to anyone I offend, but seriously what is going to be done? <br /><br />DeniseDenisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12503469692092817624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6487456.post-61278883474315675912010-06-04T17:54:24.604-05:002010-06-04T17:54:24.604-05:00And now they're saying the oil is going to rid...And now they're saying the oil is going to ride up the East Coast this summer, on the Gulf Stream.
