Not too long ago, BP, an oil magnate of US, made the whole world shocked. Millions of gallons of oil spilt over from the offshore drilling. The catastrophe caused big disasters to the sea as well as the economy. It caused big fires and the layer of oil is up to 4cm. The local sea ecological system is facing great challenges and fatal damages.
With the slogan “Beyond Petroleum” and its sunflower logo, BP always claims to try their best to protect the environment. Nevertheless, BP had already led to two accidents since 2005. BP received a big penalty of $10 billion, while it is unlikely to sink such an enormous company for these little numbers of money. People need oil and US relies on it. They will make a comeback very soon. BP will recover in a very short moment whereas it needs years for the ecological system to cure its pain. Some damages even cannot be cured forever. In people’s eyes, there is only money. For earning more money they are regardless about anything. They do not care how the animals feel, how many endangered species will die out due to their pollution. Nowadays, human beings have already become the recognized most dangerous creature in the world. Their greedy hands seem to be never satisfied. They just get whatever they want from the nature and take it for granted. Actually these kinds of behaviors have no difference to theft which are even more serious then theft.
There are plenty of these kinds of examples. Japanese killed the whales and dolphins. Poachers shot the elephant just for two tusks and so on. Recently the weather in the world varies unpredictably. This is the warning alert of the nature. If human continue to destroy the environment, the nature will revenge people. It will be too late to regret when that day comes. I hope all the people can wake up and take some measures and make some contributions to protect our environment.

The bright side is that most people have realized the mistakes they have made. That's why there is never a shortage of people calling for the conservation of environment. What we should do, however, is to shoulder the responsibility and take part in protecting the earth.
ReplyDeleteBP should do a lot more to salvage the current mess. We have to show corporate giants how strongly we feel about protecting earth, our only home. Glad you share your thoughts, George.
