The Effects of oil spills

how can spills be prevented?

In general, oil spills can affect animals and plants in two ways: from the oil itself and from the response or cleanup operations. Understanding both types of impacts can help spill responders minimize overall impacts to ecological communities and help them to recover much more quickly.

Spilled oil can harm living things because its chemical constituents are poisonous. This can affect organisms both from internal exposure to oil through ingestion or inhalation and from external exposure through skin and eye irritation. Oil can also smother some small species of fish or invertebrates and coat feathers and fur, reducing birds' and mammals' ability to maintain their body temperatures.

You can prevent oil spills by preventing pollution. Another way is to use less electricity, you should turn off the lights when you are not in the room. That is another way you can help prevent oil spills. When you pollue it can harm a lot of animals. Those animals can get hurt or even die. We all can help stop oil spills happening in the oceans. If you use less oil, then less will have to be transported. Using less oil is really important to our world because we do not want the animals to die or get hurt do we? that is why we should try to save electricity,stop polluting, and using less oil.

Sooner or later, we will have to recognise that the Earth has rights, too, to live without pollution. What mankind must know is that human beings cannot live without Mother Earth, but the planet can live without humans.
