Oil spills are effecting the animals on our planet especially sea creatures. When the oil spills it gets stuck to sea otters' fur and clogs whale's breathing holes. An oil spill is a release of liquid petroleum and hydrocarbon. Sometimes oil spills can take years to clean up, but the good news is people are finding out new ways to make their carbon foot prints smaller and are also finding new energy sources.
This is how people are making their carbon footprints smaller: Buy carbon offsets when you take long airplane flights. Ride your bike or walk instead of driving or take public transportation. Use flourescent lightbulbs instead of regular lightbulbs. Compost, recycle, refuse, reduce and reuse. If you have to, buy a hybrid car.
People are finding new energy sources: hydropower (waterpower), windpower and solar power. The funny thing is that water, wind and sun have been around for millions of years.
