Beach Pollution
Posted in Pensacola, Uncategorized on June 24, 2010
This oil spill is not just destroying a way of life for beach goers and condo owners right now (despite what many people seem to think), but it is affecting the tourism industry, the restaurant industry, the seafood industry, marine life…the list goes on. I am not going to pretend to know or understand all of the politics or the workings of this catastrophic event. Instead, I will share my sadness for all involved through these pictures. Please keep all those affected in your thoughts. If you are looking for ways to help, do a quick Internet search and locate a reputable organization.

This is such a bummer to me. My family and I have spent so many hours on Pensacola beach.
Oh this sucks! How is it now, worse? I hope that your community gets through this and keep up the reporting. It seems like people tend to lose their attention span for this, but reading first-hand reports about what’s going on may help.
I don’t know what I’d do if my favorite beaches in California ended up looking like this…
This breaks my heart.
