Just Sit Back and Watch the Environment Die

From May 2nd

I don't want to come off as some tree-hugger in this blog but Louisiana is basically saying, we don't care about our eco-system and we're not going to do anything to stop it's impending doom.  Theirs a giant oil-spill coming that's about to destroy the last of it's salt marshes.  They need to do something about this, perhaps plug the hole?  I don't know I'm just a crazy college student.  So what are they doing about it?  Well the obvious answer of course, sending all their fisherman out to catch the last of the fish that have been able to somehow survive destruction of this area.  The fish are obviously going to die, so we might as well kill them ourselves right?
You know what, the fishing part isn't actually in this article, but I know that they are really fishing out the Gulf of Mexico right now.  My real point is their are no solutions in this article, so apparently no one is giving solutions, just "bracing" for this destruction.  You know I've been on a roll with my blog post length lately but if the entire state of Louisiana is going to just mail it in when it comes to this major issue I don't see why I shouldn't do the same writing about it.  Okay, I'm not really mailing it in, I was just going for an extended metaphor.
