April 20th marked the six year anniversary of the BP  oil rig explosion in the Gulf of Mexico.  Sadly, it was the largest man-made oil spill in history.  3 million barrels of oil were dumped into the water and caused the death of 11 men and countless animals.  Again, I  have never heard of a solar spill.  It is time to end our use of fossil fuels like oil and natural gas.  And it is time to end offshore drilling.

Here are some facts below.

NOAA reported 1,400 whales and dolphins have been found dead since 2010.  And that number is likely to be very low since that was only the count of animals which washed ashore.

88% of nearly 360 dolphin babies and stillbirths had abnormal or underdeveloped lungs.

“The Deepwater Horizon oil spill severely harmed the reproductive health of dolphin living in the oil spill footprint,” veterinarian Teri Rowles, who is overseeing NOAA’s study of the ongoing die-off, said in a statement.
