I did, so should you , it takes 2 seconds, please help. I also urge you all to please purchase a shirt from Oil Spill Tee Shirts to show your outrage and to donate back to the Nature Conservancy, to help in their efforts to clean this major spill.

We here at Man Over Board have joined with many other bloggers to keep attention on the devastation this oil spill has created.  Still to this day, it  is bewildering how such a large corporation ran this particular rig. They by-passed, ignored and cared less to the safe guards that were set in place.  Even with all the redundancies, that were suppose to be in place, in order for a tragedy of this magnitude never to have happened. Well it did and continues!!!

We are mad, mad as hell and the fact that the oil still gushes out at an unrepresented rate is astounding. Why is it not capped yet? How can all the scientific knowledge they process not be able to come up with a solution to stop the devastation that continues to kill all life in the area?

This is not our first post and more then likely not our last either, until something is done to control this leak and to stop any other future instances that could happen and will happen.

We have posted about how a simple solution of using hay to help soak up the oil, a non harmful way for the environment. We have posted in regards to what the future of the East Coast will have to face this summer. I am sure our readers have heard or have also thought of ways to help stop the flow of oil that is continuing to pour into our Gulf Shores. We love to hear them.

For those of you who believe as we do, it is time we all take a stance and show  our disgust over not only BP, but our government who still wants off shore drilling to continue.

We happened upon a website that not only sells some awesome Tee Shirts to help spark debate and show off your rage. Also for every shirt sold 10% of all sales will be donated to The Nature Conservancy to help with the oil spill cleanup efforts. The website we are talking about is called Oil Spill Tee Shirts. And we grabbed a few pictures from their site to show you a few of the great shirts that you too can be wearing.

This terrible catastrophe will not be the last one, unless we do something about it now. Not only sign the petition, but get your friends and family involved. For this is not something that will go away soon if ever. Please help the wildlife, our mother earth and our neighbors to the south in showing your support as well.
