Dirty
Oil!
While I was walking along a beach on
the Gulf of Alaska, I was wondering where the smell of gas was coming
from. When I got closer to the smell I looked into the water and I
saw a lot of dirty used oil in the ocean. I was really mad that noone
had done anything about it. I was even angrier when I saw a lot of
dead fish, mammals and birds. I hurried to my house and called the
Dept. of Fish and Wildlife and told them about what I found down on
the beach.
They were so shocked they were over
here in no time. I told them that I would volunteer my time to help
them, and I called my boss and told him that I wouldn't be going to
work for a week or so. He was really mad and he asked me all sorts of
questions about why I wouldn't be working. When I told him about the
oil spill he said that it wasn't important and that if I didn't come
back to work I would be fired. I got so mad I told him that there
were other jobs and that cleaning up the oil spill was more important
and hung up. Then I went to work cleaning up the oil
spill.
I was really curious about how the
oil spill happened so I started investigating. First, I went to the
boat harbor and checked all the boats. There I discovered two people
in a boat trying to clean dirty oil from their hands. When I looked
into the boat I found four empty 55 gallon tanks that smelled like
the dirty oil on the beach. Then I reported my find to the police. It
turned out the boat belonged to my old boss, and he was sent to jail
for a year for dumping oil in the ocean.
I thought that we would be finished
cleaning up the oil in a week but we kept finding more oil. I was
very curious again so I went down to the beach very quietly at night
and I saw two more people who worked for my old boss dumping more oil
in the ocean. The next night I brought the clean-up boss with me down
to the beach to identify who they were. He got really mad and told
the police about it. Then the police arrested everyone who was
connected with the dumping and they shut down my old bosse's
business. After that, within a month most of the oil and dead animals
were cleaned up and the beach started coming back to life
again.
