Hey earthlings! We've all heard about the Oil Spill in Mexico. I believe that the world is like a car. If we can fix oil leaks on our cars, why not on the planet? Seriously, this oil spill is doing tons of damage! It's hurting land, animals, and wildlife. Think- those animals didn't do anything to deserve this! Read some of these cool thinks we can do to help below.
The National Wildlife Federation is now accepting pledges via your mobile device. Text "WILDLIFE" to 20222 to donate $10 to the organization's "on-the-ground volunteer and restoration efforts."
The International Bird Rescue Research Center (IBRRC) lets you support the 16 members of their Oil Spill Response Team, as well as other non-profit organizations working in the region, by "donating, becoming a member or adopting a bird."
Deepwater Horizon Response Unified Command is urging the public to report any breaks in the nearly 1.2 million feet of boom that have been placed throughout the Gulf of Mexico. To report an incident, call 1-866-448-5816.
In addition, the group is soliciting the public's ideas for "stopping the flow of oil into the Gulf, containing or recovering it, orcleaning it up." Click here to submit your suggestion, or alternatively, call 281-366-5511.
The National Wildlife Federation, in partnership with its colleagues in the Gulf states, is recruiting volunteers for an "extensive volunteer wildlife surveillance network."
To report injured or oiled wildlife, call 1-866-557-1401. To report spill-related damage, call 1-800,440-0858, and to inquire about volunteering, or to report oil on the shore, call 1-866-448-5816.
If any of my followers live in the gulf states, you can do so much more! Thanks for listening. -AJ
