life, interrupted
hi guys, it’s the middle of summer and as much as i’m enjoying it, i also have a lot on my mind regarding my home in miami beach. i’ve written to obama and the white house and was feeling like i had no voice so started this petition to immediately stop the use of the toxic oil dispersant, 9500.
it would mean everything to me if you would take the time to sign it. if you’d like to see some of my findings on the subject you can visit my other blog: http://stoppingatthegreenlight.wordpress.com
STOP THE USE OF COREXIT 9500 IN THE GULF IMMEDIATELY

The whole situation is one disaster on top of another. I live on the east coast and it is truly terrible.

I am from the Gulf Coast, Pensacola, where some of the oil has landed.
I am very angry and sad about all of this.
(I love your blog, btw. :) )

Thank you for posting about this Claudia.
I’m also on the Gulf side and have a manatee that calves under our dock. I live in Canada except for the winter months,so I’m not there to witness any changes in the health of the wildlife.
I don’t know if my voice will count; but I will sign the petition.

Thanks so much Claudia. Just wondering what happened to the US ordering Dispersit which is suppossed to be safe and has been tested and used in the UK ?? Here is the definition and where I got my information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersit
“Dispersit is unique among U.S. Environmental Protection Agency-rated dispersants in being the only one rated as 100% effective against South Louisiana crude oil, and it is among the least toxic, according to EPA tests.[5] By comparison, Corexit, the oil dispersant used in the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, is rated at 54.7% effective against South Louisiana crude oil and three times as lethal to silverfish and more than twice as lethal to shrimp.
