This results in the destruction of the land (it can no longer be used for planting crops) and soil erosion. The loosened topsoil can be washed down by rains and the sediments get into rivers, streams and waterways. Downstream, they can kill the fish and plant life and block river channels which cause flooding.]]> 2018-01-23 13:21:31 UTC https://padlet.com/mcappuccino/92qiemelkjhx/wish/223751703 aroller1136 https://padlet.com/mcappuccino/92qiemelkjhx/wish/223759419 2018-01-23 13:38:57 UTC https://padlet.com/mcappuccino/92qiemelkjhx/wish/223759419 https://padlet.com/mcappuccino/92qiemelkjhx/wish/223760893  When the oil and gas industry spills or leaks harmful fluids – whether toxic oil or chemical-laden wastewater – the damage to local ecosystems can last for decades]]> 2018-01-23 13:42:01 UTC https://padlet.com/mcappuccino/92qiemelkjhx/wish/223760893 https://padlet.com/mcappuccino/92qiemelkjhx/wish/223762029 A moratorium on offshore drilling, enacted by U.S. Pres.
