In
the biggest environmental disaster in U.S. history, oil continues to
spill into the waters of the Gulf from the BP drill site. It’s not the first such spill and won’t be the last.
And our fossil fuel-based lifestyle is blamed for climate change by virtually every eco-group and government on the planet. In fact, the Obama administration has committed $100 billion a year to fund the UN’s climate change treaty commitments.
Meanwhile, British Petroleum
is an oil company based in the UK which, as part of the EU, has
committed to reduce fossil fuel consumption to meet climate change
goals.
Hypocritically, the EU and the USA have
banned natural fiber fur, sustainable fur, produced from abundant seal
stocks by the Inuit and other peoples living in North America’s high
north.
As the oil slick from the BP
disaster coats everything it touches, the EU and the USA engage in oily
politics and issue mixed messages about the future.
Perhaps the people to lead us forward into a sustainable future are those who never abandoned their past?
NOTE:
Sealsandsealing.net is an expert site for more on sealing. And FCUSA keeps a section on the issue too.
