It is sad how poorly we choose to treat our environment, and now it has landed us in a terrible situation. Hopefully with time and help and with modern technology, somehow we can reverse the majority of the adverse effects caused by the spill.

I did not see a link back to the blog hop, so could you please put in a link so others can share in the fun and see your amazing recipe and information on sustainable food related to the gulf oil spill. As an Islander up here in new york, many a meal was made from local sea fare and with the vagaries of pollution, red tide, even water oxygenation would make the sea food legal or illegal to harvest. This oil spill will effect the balance for a long time and it is important for folks to hear information such as yours. Thanks again for sharing and I grabbed your RSS feed and am following.
