Where Does it go now?
By Mason Asphar
Well that's not good!
This was a point source type of pollution, meaning that you know where the pollutant(s) come(s) from.
Oil Puddles
This is normally a non-point source type of pollution , because you can never be sure of what vehicle caused it, unless you saw it with your own eyes.
Big Rigs
This would be a point-source pollution because we are positive of what caused this tragedy.
The Wildlife
This would be a non-point source pollutant, because the pollution comes from so many different places.
We need to become less dependent on oil by turning to greener sources of energy like solar, wind, and water power. In the meantime, I would say that we need to develop safer ways to transport and extract oil to avoid future spills. We need to continue to improve the clean up methods following disastrous spills and take responsibility for our actions.
