Oil spills are huge problems to the environment. The obvious one is that the oil and slick can harm marine life as well as birds who simply land to get their food. This causes death to animals, dirtying our waters, ruining the eco system, and ruining some of the food chain. The oil spills, if they reach land, can get into the wildlife and plants of the region. If the plants get oil into their roots they will die. Oil spills pose a great threat to wildlife, people, economy, and plants as well. We have to do all in our power to help animals and wildlife who have been sullied by these oil spills.
