GULF OF MEXICO OIL UNDER OIL-oil spill by BP.

The catastrophic explosion that caused an oil spill from an offshore drilling rig owned by The BP (A British global energy company which is the third largest energy company and fourth largest company in the world) in the Gulf  of Mexico has left irreversible damage to the coast line ,aquatic life also affecting the life of  fishermen and other inhabitants around the area.

THE EXPLOSION.

The leak is currently releasing 5000 barrels of oil per day and efforts to manage the spill with controlled burning,dispersal and pluuging the leak were unsuccessful.This oil spill is on track to become the worst in history.

The BP's rig is tapped tp an underwater oil well and could pump more oil indefinitely untill the leak is plugged.

THE OIL SPILL PICTURED.

     The whole gulf is covered in  thick layers of oil and hardened oil blobs. The sheath of oil is fast approaching the land and operations to stop this with the help of booms are taking place .Local fishermen and shrimp boat owners are being trained to do  the same.
AQUATIC LIFE.

The hardest hit are the sea turtles and other marine animals such as squids and porpoises.Hundreds of them have been found as rotting carcasses along the coastline.                       
BRETON ISLAND SANCTUARY.
The breton island sanctuary has also been made prey to this horrifying incident.The pelicans inhabiting the island have been drenched in the oil and most have died as a result.Veterinarians are actively volunteering in rescuing the left out birds and in helping clean them of the oil.

COUNTRY DWELLERS TEND TO LIVE LONGER.

A recent study by The U.K. Office for National Statistics has revealed that people living in the countryside tend to live longer.The greener lifestyle has helped the rural men and woman live an additional two years compared to their peers in the

urban areas.

The study included a seven year analysis of  rural folk and their urban peers.People living in the country side faced a much greener environment including  fresh clean air to breathe, safe clean water to drink ,dispersed areas and they also fed on  better and nutritious food.This is quite the opposite in the urban areas where people breathe in freshly polluted air, drink not so safe  water, find themselves in crowded living spaces and are more exposed to junk food which also  seems to suit their life style better.

A striking difference in between urban and rural areas is the appalling lack of greenery in the former's case where the latter brims with greens.This is the crucial point  where the rural folks enjoy better health benefits.
