This week, we're discussing the Deepwater Horizon oil spill and resulting environmental impacts this disaster caused. Over 4 million barrels of oil would leak over nearly 90 days, covering over 1,000 miles of gulf coastline. Even worse, while the cleanup was successful, a vast majority of the heroes who helped clean up after the oil reached the shores suffer detrimental health effects to this very day.
