Lately, we’ve been talking a lot about how nature affects humans. This week we’re switching gears to talk about a major way humans affect nature: the oil industry. Two destructive oil spills occurred in the last two weeks, and we think they’re important to discuss. We also touch on the damaging effects of cruise ships, and some small positive stories to lighten us up at the end.
