I chose oil spills as my topic because I really wanted to learn more about it. It really is an interesting topic because you get not only learn about just oil spills you also get to learn about fossil fuels so you sort of get more than one topic. It's fun to learn about because you also get to learn about renewable energy and that is really fun. That is why I chose oil spills for my topic.
Water Pollution and Oil Spills
by Cate Tiernan
Pretend that you saw a boat coming near you and oil spilled out of it. Also imagine that when the oil spilled it spilled on a fish and then the fish could not breathe. Accidental oil spills are dangerous. Did you know that every year 706 million gallons of oil gets spilled into the ocean?
Oil spills happen when anthing that carries oil gets into an accident or there’s a leak. Also many living things can change in a bad way because when oil spills happen animals can get covered in oil and oil is sticky so it’s not good for them.
We can try to use less oil by using renewable energy. Renewable energy is energy that can be used over and over. For example a renewable energy source can be solar panels because the sun will keep recharging the panels. Another renewable energy is windmills. The opposite of renewable energy is fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are plants and animals that have decomposed over millions of years. They turn into coal, natural gas, and oil. These are things that are not going to be around forever. So, to reduce these things we can do stuff like turning the lamp off and open the windows when it is light outside. You can also turn off the light when you leave a room. In conclusion, think twice about oil.
