Way to ruin the environment, BP.

oily hermit crab woe.

This BP oil spill is depressing the shit out of me.
I keep reading the reports and looking at the photos and feeling completely hopeless. They still haven't successfully managed to stop the massive amount of oil that is spewing out of the damn pipes. It's so sad. The incredible impact this spill is going to have not only on the environmental side of things, but the effect on millions of people's lives, businesses and futures too. I can't even fathom how many years and how much money and effort that this is going to take to fix. I only hope that BP do the most noble thing and help see the clean up and all future spill-related aids all the way through.
Short of flying over there and helping scrub birds clean and and gather tar balls (i wish i could, but sadly i'm in no position to do this) there seems to be nothing the other side of the world can do but watch the news and donate our money to the wildlife preserves and foundations that are tackling the clean up. I'm certainly not going to be buying my petrol from BP again (or any sort of BP product), but i doubt that boycotting their products is going to have any effect, short of them going bankrupt and someone else having to pay for their mistakes.

Anyway. Enough sad for now.
