Not again!!

Probably because of my fondness for beaches or just the little environmentalist in me, but I get so affected every time I hear news about oil spills in seas. It's sad to see nature being damage thanks to man's greediness and irresponsibility.

Back in 2006, an oil tanker carrying two million liters of bunker fuel sank at the Guimaras Strait in the Philippines, thus, causing millions of liters of oil to spill on the strait and damage its marine sanctuary. Due to the disaster's huge extent, the clean-up was said to last three years.

Although, the people of Guimaras survived the devastating oil spill, up to this day the Guimaras Oil Spill is still an on-going environmental disaster. And now comes another dilemma, this time in the Gulf of Mexico.

We, humans, keep on complaining about the adverse effects of climate change yet we're still being reckless on how we treat the world. When will we ever learn?
