Leaking oil ?
One of the worst things about arctic drilling is the possibility of oil getting in to our oceans . The reason for that is because oil is toxic . If oil got into our oceans , it would kill anything in the ocean . For example : plants , animals , or anything living . Seeing images on the news of birds covered in oil breaks my heart ; over six thousand birds as a result of the BP oil spill . ( According to USA Today .) It is extremely dangerous to have toxic chemicals in a living environment with an extremely high population .
No protection laws ?
There are no safety regulations regarding arctic drilling . Because of that , people would drill carelessly . When people are drilling carelessly they aren ’ t realizing where they are drilling and could be endangering ocean life . It ’ s careless mistakes like that that can make the dangers of Arctic Drilling come alive .
