Stop the use of corexit in the Gulf of Mexico immediately! Corexit is highly toxic, is directly related to the early deaths of Exxon Valdez rescue and recovery workers, forces oil to the ocean floor where it destroys oxygen and cannot be removed. Use of corexit will kill all the plankton and thus the entire marine food chain of the Gulf of Mexico. Corexit is not allowed in Britain so why is BP allowed to use a toxic dispersant on the Gulf of Mexico that would never be allowed in the North Sea.
The EPA has reduced the amount that BP is allowed to spray but has not stopped it. The only possible uses of corexit are to hide the amount of oil spewing from the well or to destroy the Gulf so utterly that it is fit for nothing but oil rigs. Will you stand by and watch this happen?
I honestly cannot believe how fast this is moving and frankly it feels like the whole world is finally waking up to what is happening beneath the waves. It really blows my mind that keeping this stuff out of the ocean was ever even a question but seeing so many people speak up makes me feel like we might actually have a shot at changing things for once.

It is a utter shame that obvious infringements on public health and the environment go uncovered by mainstream media and uncontested by government officials.

We need to protect the ecosystems of the oceans. The use of Corexit in the Gulf of Mexico is directly related to mass deaths of coral, fish, dolphins, and more. We can not sit around and wait for something better to happen when they are continually destructing the Gulf.

Corexit makes the oil spill more toxic to humans and to the ecology. It's only use is to make oil spills less visible from the surface. The fact that the EPA did not or was not able to stop BP lowers the credibility of government and makes one suspicious of corruption.

BP is just poisoning everything. Why are we letting them hide the oil on the sea floor instead of cleaning it up properly? This is criminal.
