ttnd tony: as students i can reduce my eco logical foot print by finding ways to get rid of oil in the gulf

reseach:scientist say that all the oil will kill thousands of animals and then start to destroy habitats we have to blame are selfs for this we were the ones to spill all of this oil and to save the wild life we must clean it up and then we have to help the animals like the camercial when they save animals and wash them with tide so if you can buy some of that tide soap it will help the animals in the oil spill it also killed 11 men and 17 injuerd how many times have you droped a oiley food into the ocean or lake and that will make the lake or ocean more polluted this will happen when you frie it or cook all the oil is left in it  Phytoplankton is at the foundation of the food chain. Any effect on these plants weakens the entire food chain, and massive loss of phytoplankton in large oil spills will have a profound effect on wildlife, says John Caruso, an ecology and evolutionary biology professor at Tulane University. Seaweed and sea grasses provide food or breeding grounds for fish and other species. Grasses in Louisiana marshes are important for lessening erosion of small islands that buffer the mainland from hurricanes. According to Joanna Burger, a Rutgers University ecologist, destroying just 20 percent of a marsh can damage 90 percent of [|animal] reproduction. Marshes are prime breeding grounds for fish and invertebrates and feeding areas for birds

experiment: the oil infested plant did not grow it actueley melted the seed as well and the some of the dirt also disinegrated. the plant with no oil grew strong and very large it was actueley a plant the grew in the gulf of mexico so they both were a acurate experiment they were both watered daily.
