I decided to express my growing concerns over the recent oil spill in Gulf of Mexico. As it turns out, this could lead to a disaster never seen before, threatening hundreds of species of wildlife, including birds, dolphins, crabs and oysters living on the Gulf Coast. What worries me the most is that it seems that BP didn’t have an emergency plan in place for a situation like this, that it can happen again and that it can have irreversive impact on the wildlife in the region.

Therefore, I’ve put an oil blob over my avatar icons on twitter and facebook (see below). I hope the spill will end soon, that the impact will be minimal and that we humans learn from the experience so it never happens again. If you feel the same and if the fate of wildlife, environment and our planet is a concern to you, just change your avatar icon the way I did and spread the word.
