Name: Oil Spills
Common causes: When oil of any type is released into the natural environment, the result is termed an oil spill. Most people think of marine oil spills when they visualize an oil spill, but the escape of oil into the natural environment is a problem on land as well. Since many humans rely heavily on petroleum products such as plastic, fuel, and lubricating oil, oil spills are an unfortunate byproduct of the human way of life. A number of things cause oil spills, ranging from carelessness to deliberate dumping.
Recent oil spills:

Personal feeling about the condition:
