Hi Naseem: Thank you very much for sending the very moving video. I am sending it to almost everyone I know. I say “almost everyone” because some have told me they can’t stand to see any more images because they are already sick enough at heart. So sad. Will we figure it out before we totally kill our ecosystem/planet? You have done another amazing job!! Ann Ferrell
Naseem! Sobering images of an immense disaster! Gracias
Very powerful video – such a tragedy!
so very powerful.I will post on my FB page
Wonderful, Naseem. I broke out in tears at the image of the pelican struggling in the oil with its beak open. The depression around this is almost unbearable. Thanks for this film and I’ll share on Facebook. Love, Melladee
Naseem, is it okay with you to embed your film in our blogs?
Good for your Naseem. I am Ernie Wormwood from Facebook. Will share on my page.
Well done, and I totally agree, we are all to blame for this. Our entire lifestyle, throw away society, instant gratification, keeping up with the Jones’s, glutenous society that we are all part of.
Actually I hate the video, but love the heart in it…………sigh, so full of sorrow, I could weep constantly.
