Today marks the one year anniversary of the disastrous rig explosion that took eleven lives and destroyed the Gulf coast.
To mark the occassion, we direct you to Anderson Cooper’s retrospective of the days following the rig explosion. His reporting from the Gulf in the wake of the disaster captured—in captivating fashion—the oil, the people, and the politics of the situation.
We also encourage you to consider the role oil and other fossil fuels play in your life and how you might help lessen the strain on these resources and prevent a future disaster.
