The anger being expressed in response to the recent BP oil rig explosion and resulting spill of millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico is “a way of masking the really unfathomable and profound despair that is just under the surface as we watch this catastrophe unfold,” says Deborah Du Nann Winter, PhD, Professor of Psychology at Whitman College (Walla Walla, WA). In an interview published in Ecopsychology and conducted by Editorial Board member Susan Koger, PhD, Professor of ...

Animals have been farmed, domesticated, hunted, driven to extinction, and, recently, covered in oil. They’ve probably had enough. But some animals just keep on giving. (Of course, they don’t have much of a say in the matter.) The Huffington Post has a cool slideshow of some animals who help humans do things we really can’t do alone — like patrol the ocean for terrorists (see cute dolphin below). We just hope these animal employees are treated just as well as their human co-workers — or better.

The Gulf oil spill dwarfs comprehension, but we know this much: it’s bad. Carl Safina scrapes out the facts in this blood-boiling cross-examination, arguing that the consequences will stretch far beyond the Gulf — and many so-called solutions are making the situation worse.

And BP’s seemingly feeble attempts may be harming the environment even more. Yesterday, the Environmental Protection Agency told BP that they had 24 hours to decide on a less toxic form of chemical dispersants to try and break up the environmental disaster. 655,00o gallons of the extremely toxic dispersants that BP is using have now been distributed over the surface of the ocean and underwater. Federal officials are worried about the threat to the marine life in the Gulf of Mexico, since the use of dispersants to this degree is unprecedented. Also, apparently BP is trying to limit how much journalists see of the spill. Hey, BP, what el...
