ConclusionJulia S. - Pollution has become a severe problem with many long term and short term effects. The technology and equipment used to remove oil is not always effective and the amount of oil pollution needs to be reduced immediately before there is nothing that can be done to clean it.
Kayla - Societal perspective on the other hand, oil spills have a great effect on humans. This obviously isn’t good.
Julia W. - Environmentally, oil spills are polluting the land and water. They are also destroying animals health and food webs. We have to put a stop to oil spills.
Thanks for listening & let’s
