From the Oceans marine website one quart of oil damages 150,000 gallons of sea water. One gallon damages 600,000 gallons, and one barrel damages 33,000,000 gallons of seawater.

The Estimate for the lattest leak per day is at 100,000 barrels per day. That contaminates over 3,300,000,000,000 gallons of water per day. That is 3.3 trillion gallons.

Over the past 41 days of this oil spill, the total number of gallon of water that has been damaged/ contaminated / unlivable to fish and wildlife is a staggering 135.3 Trillion Gallons.

That amount is enough to fill 6.1 million swimming pools.

If you collect all of the air pollution and water pollution, and recycle every stitch of trash for the next 200 years, you will not come to a fraction of how much damage this spill has caused the gulf.

Save you money with the going green enforcement and put the money into saving this ocean that is the life bringer for millions of Americans.
