Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill

[2Morganne]

Last week, an underwater oil well exploded into the Gulf of Mexico. It's pouring 42,000 gallons of crude oil into the water each day! The oil companies are saying it will take around 2 to 4 weeks to stop and maintain the spill. They hope they can stop it from hitting the coast and shoreline. Oil spills can be very harmful for marine life and it's also wasting a lot of gas we need. This spill is a HUGE problem.

The oil in the ocean looks cool, but a lot of oil is being wasted. I hope that they get the oil spill stopped.
