While BP is busy painting its' very own 'portrait in oils', and as worthy as the winners of the BP Portrait Awards no doubt are, please spare a thought for those artists who are doing their best to create a Ripple.

Very good blog.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately there might be soon even more "oil portraits" like the one BP is "painting" in the Gulf of Mexico. Belize government, for example, gave away oil concessions over practically the entire territory of Belize, including the barrier reef and the atolls - areas awfully vulnerable to oil spills - and a global treasure. If you want to have your say about please join SATIIM's anti-oil campaign. Go there: http://satiim.blogspot.com/2010/06/help-avert-ecological-disaster.html and tell Belize's government what you think about it.
