That’s an author’s responsibility.

Simply asking oftens works! Especially for such an environmentally responsible site as this.

I intended to highlight the oil zapper technology rather than the Mumbai oil spill in particular. Go to that ‘simple search’ at Google India images an get me a photo of Mumbai oil spill which is under Creative Commons license and I’ll replace it.

Whay does the story has a grossly misrepresentative picture of a Lebanon oil spill, in fact titled “Lebanon_oil_beach.jpg”? Can’t our contributors or editors (?) do 1 minute of research?

A simple search at Google India images http://xrl.in/66h1 show this picture http://www.bellevision.com/uploaded/oilspil2.jpg – worth more than words as it show the other part of this disaster, some of hundreds of containers as flotsam! Many are found to be toxic!!

I can’t stand reading about oil spills anymore. I know spills have been happening for a long time, but it’s still hard to sit by and watch this happen. At least this oil-eating bacteria has been developed. It is only a temporary fix though.
