If you don’t want our South Carolina beaches to possibly show up with oily “tarballs” like the one from Florida in the video below, come out tomorrow and show your support for “Hands Across the Sand“.
We will be lined up hand-in-hand to show our support against anymore offshore drilling in the Atlantic.
Not sure if you have time? Checkout this short video – it’ll probably change your mind.
Buying local food is always a good idea, but all the more so now with seafood since BP has poisoned the main source of seafood for a lot of people across the country: the Gulf coast.
Unless we get a huge amount of their oil via the Gulf stream, the best choice is to buy your seafood from right here at home; at least then, you know where it’s coming from.
Biggest reason why? Well, put it this way: would you rather be eating some fresh shrimp and seafood like we have pictured here, or do you want to have a shot at some of the crazy-sounding chemicals listed below?
Just look at these chemicals in the Gulf’s water thanks to BP:
- 1,2-Propanediol
- Ethanol, 2-butoxy-*
- Butanedioic acid, 2-sulfo-, 1,4-bis(2-ethylhexyl) ester, sodium salt (1:1)
- Sorbitan, mono-(9Z)-9-octadecenoate
- Sorbitan, mono-(9Z)-9-octadecenoate, poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl) derivs
- Sorbitan, tri-(9Z)-9-octadecenoate, poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl) derivs
- 2-Propanol, 1-(2-butoxy-1-methylethoxy)
- Distillates (petroleum), hydrotreated light
The choice is yours; I’m sure you’ll do the right thing.
