Did you know a major environmental disaster occurred last week?

Oil company Royal Dutch Shell has begun the massive task of cleaning up
nearly 90,000 gallons of crude oil that leaked from a company oil
derrick roughly 90 miles off the state’s coast, the Associated Press reported Friday. The poorest residents of coastal communities and Native Americans were likely to feel the brunt of this.

But don’t worry, I expect they’ve lept into action with some dish detergent and some kitchen roll and they’ll be cleaning it up just lickety-split. And it’s not like these things have unexpected long term effects or anything.
