Oil leak Blog 14

I will show a picture of oil in the sea, this is from my condo in Singapore. The oil spill came when a boat crashed into a parked boat and oil leaked. It is effecting not only fish but birds, plants, plant roots and all the sea life in the ocean.

The oil looks like rainbow and some black.

This is why we need to protect it. Otherwise our ocean will end up like this:

I can see clean up boats are using Soap and chemicals. More oil will get removed with a special type chemical.

When the oil is removed it still doesn’t look normal, it is just being removed bit by bit and it spreads all over the sea and all the beaches of Sentosa, so don’t in the sea. Look at how the oil has moved and is effecting our environment

Here are some things you can help with that:

  • try to not to use petrol oil
  • don’t be wasteful and buy lots of things from other countries, that uses lots of petrol oil to get more ships out
  • don’t make your carbon footprint too big; the smaller the better

Look out for the next blog, it’s going to be about ‘what is a carbon footprint’.

Do you have any ideas about ways to stop oil leaks?

    That is awful about the oil spill! The poor fish and birds and plants. The people who spilled it should have to pay to fix it and need to be much more careful. People need to take much better care of the environment. Thanks for letting us know about it Cleo! X

    Hi Cleo – that oil leak is awful. I don’t have any ideas how to prevent oil leaks other than firstly wondering why and how the boats crashed in the first place ? Secondly : your ideas are so valuable in aiming to use less petrol oil. I am looking forward to your information on carbon footprint. Thank you again Cleo

    I read that 400 tons of oil was spilled. Oil is being spilled all over the world and affecting the environment . I think we need to stop using oil. We need to use other energy like the sun or wind or water.

      Hello again Cleo

      for I always agree with you because you certainly know what you are talking about . Here on the south coast of England I see more and more houses with solar panels which is a good thing. The government should make it compulsory for all new builds, and make solar panels more affordable for everyone.
      keep up your great work Cleo
