One April 27, 2010, there was a crude oil spill that led into the Gulf of Mexico. They claimed 11 were lost. This oil spill is effecting the economy, because just last week gas prices have been rising. It has also been ruining the wildlife in the water and outside the water. Have you ever seen the Dawn commercial of the animals getting cleaned off from oil spills? That makes me sad, because it shouldn't have happened in the first place. It is happening outside the water because some animals drink that water in some way, because all waters lead to an ocean. In my opinion offshore mining should be banned. Oil is one of our resources, and we need it. We could also live without it too. I think gas prices will continue to rise until they find another resource. Website Dawn Comerical
