When the Exxon Valdez oil spill happened I was ten years old. A direct consequence of living on the Pacific Coast back in 1989 was that we heard about it on TV,  in the newspapers,  and we studied it endlessly in school. You felt like, at least 10 people were doing their best to target blame and clean it up.

Approximately 250,000 barrels of crude oil were dumped into Prince William Sound’s Blight Reef and at the time it was considered the worse environmental disaster in history. It has taken years to clean up, and as of a few yers ago, it is estimated that 26,000 gallons of oil still remain embedded in the sandy shoreline. Most recently a study by the University of North Carolina believes it may take upwards of another 30 years for the arctic habitants of the regions shoreline to actually recover.
