10 Things You Can Do to Help the Gulf Coast Clean the Oil Spill
I say 9 1/2 because of #8 on their list.
8. For those inclined to send a political message about the need to restore the Gulf Coast, the National Wildlife Federation has created this form letter you can send to President Obama. Those in favor of halting all ocean drilling can use this form letter from the Sierra Club.
Halting drilling is not the answer - unless you desire less products at much higher prices - with which the poor will not be able to afford.
The American way would be for someone with the know how to make a design for oil disaster recovery, have it be federally approved, sell it to the oil companies, hire employees and vendors to assemble the parts, make a profit, use the profit for further research and development, and have you and your employees benefit financially through the hard work. This is a true stimulus program.
