What are oil spills and how do they occur?

# data[].attributes.body
Oil spills are very dangerous to humans and other forms of life. They can occur in many different ways. Here are some examples.
-Ships: They carry oil to certain places and there could be a malfunction or the ship could crash and the oil would leak into the ocean.
-Wars: When countries are at wars, some countries purposely spill oil into the other country's oceans.
-Pipelines: Send oil to places and the pipes could burst and leak huge amounts of oil.
-Car crashes: when cars crash the oil spills onto the road surfaces.
- Dumping oils: (where you're not supposed to)(drains)
-Natural disasters: (hurricanes) that destroy containers with oil and spill it.

I say the world has gone crazy and all everybody cares about is the chick ching and the bling $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ and not so much about our environment. Though some people like me, you know what they say,"Think globally and act locally". Every small action helps. Here are some actions we could do to prevent oil spills and help clean them up.
-Make bigger consequences for illegal dumping of oil.
-Make more pipelines and reduce the amount of ships sending oil to places.
-Make vehicles that use renewable energy sources more affordable.
-Make oil more expensive so people wont be able to afford much on a daily basis.
-Make it less expensive to properly dispose oil.
-Drive carefully
-Keep oil contained structures away from natural disaster prone areas.
-Try to resolve conflict without dumping oil.
- Using booms can help clean up oil spills.
- Using dispersants to clean oil(chemicals)
-In certain cases you can burn the oil off the ocean.
-Manual recovery(rakes, shovels

# data[].attributes.body
-If a person spills oil in the ocean they could go to jail for 2 to 3 years and pay a huge fine
-Raising taxes to help the government clean up oil spills
- Canada is making more pipelines, one of them is the Twins Trans Mountain pipeline which extends from Edmonton, Alberta to Burnby, B.C
-Some car companies like Tesla have electric cars. Examples of hybrid more affordable cars are the Toyota Prius and Hyundai Sonata Hybrid
-Marine life are deeply impacted by oil spills  such as the one in Mexico
-The oil spills can affect us if fish that are caught are oil  contaminated, we could eat it and die or get sick
-  If they breathe in air that has been polluted with the oil, their health may be negatively impacted
-Some plants can consume the oil and die and when sea birds come to catch fish they will make direct contact with the oil and get sick

we think that the government should make more laws about not sending ships across the water because, if an oil spill happens, then the government and oil company will for some reason make the taxes increase in money. Now this obviously sucks for us residents as it it's not our fault for the scene. The government should make the oil company pay for causing our swims in the summer a vacation or retirement.

Ways we can avoid oil spills is that we can make such little choices in our everyday life to prevent oil spills from happening.  When it comes down to cars, you can try and drive electrical cars to avoid making any pollution. for a further step, I think that people should invent solar powered cars so it can always be a renewable source and that we don't
have to use something that can never be renewed(non-renewable source). Some more ways you can avoid oil spills is if we try not to transfer any cargo or passengers on a boat and to send any oil to other countries, we can create pipelines in and out. It is just these little choices in our everyday life that can make a difference to our world. Think about it.

I was busing home and there was a huge car crash and oil was spilling into the ground from the cars.

Oil spills are obviously bad to our environment.  Here are some was it can be caused by:
-Ship/tanker leaks(damage).
-Pipeline failure.
-Pollution(smoke evaporates, then into the clouds that rain the smoke and it goes into the oceans and lakes).

To answer the big question with what we know about oil spills, I have to say that in your lives, you can make such small decisions to make a world difference.  See, it's these small changes in your everyday life that can change the world. For example, you have cars with an exhaust pipe and you drive it everyday.  1 way you can reduce it is sell it, and buy an electrical car!  Tesla is an electrical car type that is powered by electric(all hail Tesla). But, we all think that there should be solar powered cars for extra environment care. Again, it's these everyday decisions in your life that are so small, that can change the world.

Dispersants are chemical agents (similar to soaps and detergents) that help break up an oil slick into very small droplets, which dilute throughout the water. While this does not remove the spilled material, smaller oil particles are more easily biodegraded and it provides a measure of protection for sensitive habitats threatened by a surface slick.
