Hopefully, this country will never forget what happened on April 20th, 2010. That was the day that the BP oil rig exploded and began one of the largest oil spills in our history of drilling and refining oil. The impact of a tragedy like the Gulf oil spill will be felt for years to come. At Green Travel Hub, our hope is that a tragedy like this will bring change and awareness towards cleaner energy sources and the advancement of technology to make clean energy more mainstream and affordable. Here’s a great video from the Environmental Defense Fund regarding the spill:
What Can You Do?
The best way that Americans can respond to the Gulf oil spill is to continue to modify our lifestyle to be better stewards of energy and to support businesses that are turning to alternatie energy sources such as some of the green hotels in our directory. At home and when you travel, the choices you make will help determine whether we turn to clean energy sources so the chance of large oil spills will be reduced.
