Activity - Lisa Morgonelli - The political chemistry of Oil

I watched the Lisa Morgonelli video on political chemistry of oil, it was very interesting. She talked about how the oil consumption is destroying the environment, and how we use 25% more oil than usual.
When the oil enters the water it doesnt sink, it spreads out like thin layers at the top of the water, than the toxic chemicals in the oil float into water killing fish eggs and smaller aquatic life, for example shrimp, lobster and clams. The ashfaultines than get wiped around by waves into frothy substances like mayonnaise which than triples the mess of the oil.
She goes on to say that when the oil industry just started it was a filthy one and people made alot of money for doing nothing, which i agree with her now still. People are making money while ruining our environment and they are okay with it. I think her video was very interesting, and it filled me in on alot of things that I didnt already know.
