How long will it be till you can swim where the oil spill hit?
It will Not be safe to swim in the ocean water off the coast of Louisiana, where the oil is leaking and it will not be safe, until they stop the well from leaking, which may not be for quite a long time. I doubt it it will be safe to swim in that location (in the ocean) until 2011 at the earliest.
Are plastic forks biodegradable?
Very much not, although there are some biodegradable plastics which are manufactured. These biodegradable plastics are known to cause pollution as they emit toxic and greenhouse gases, as well as harmful substances. If I were you, I'd choose reusable bags rather than recyclable ones.
Another answer
Yes - by adding exciting new biodegradable additive technology, like that pioneered by ENSO Bottles, everyday plastics become biodegradable plastics! Many companies are out there making claims related to biodegradable plastics or compostable plastics. But when asked to back it up with scientific proof, they say that the information can not be made available for review. ENSO is proud to have certified, 3rd party laboratory test data made publicly available which proves that the plastics treated with our additive will biodegrade in a landfill environment. And ENSO continues to push the envelope to benefit the planet.

How much pollution do water turbine make?
While its running - almost nothing. While being built - like the production of any mechanical thing of that size.
And, of course, the dam building or other installation mounting the turbine created pollutuion during its building. If a dam, it may have needed the moving of some communities, e.g. for the Three Gorges Dam in China - many thousands re-homed.

How does the Prius minimize pollution?
The hybrid system in the Toyota Prius consists of a gasoline engine, an electric motor, a large battery and a variable drive system. The computer controller automatically uses all of these elements optimally in each driving situation. The net result is less fuel used because the gasoline engine does not need to be on all of the time. Some of the time no power is used, some of the time the car slows down and the battery is charged, some of the time the car is powered by the electric motor using previously stored electricity. Because less fuel is used less pollution is generated, when compared to a similar size and performance gasoline car.

To sum up the essentials, the workers at the chernobyl plant were being pushed to operate the new reactor (#4) at above normal levels. Various anomalies were discovered but due to the increased pressure on the teams they were overlooked. While operating the reactor, a pocket of steam built up beneath the injector rods that was not being released. When it was finally discovered emergency procedures went underway, but due to a stuck injector rod the reaction could not be prevented and therefore started a chain of explosive reactions that caused the chemicals in the reactor to spread and a fire to start.
