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.
