Tomorrow marks the 6 month anniversary of the BP oil spill. For this anniversary, a group on campus is going to have a flash mob oil spill to voice our opinion that we have not forgotten and it is not okay. Only a fraction of the oil was ever recovered. This is also not okay. Couldn't they have loaded huge barrels of hay into the oil slicks? After all, oil is attracted to and soaked up by the hay, which can them be scooped up much easier than oil.
Anyways, for the event tomorrow, there will be a "human oil spill" consisting of many students all dressed in black, which is then "cleaned up" by people dressed as BP executive with brooms. The even takes place 2 hours before colloquium class and I hope much of our class will participate in it. I will see how it goes tomorrow.
