Many people have banned together to help with the BP oil spill clean up but are being told to stay home. Staying home is what the experts say is the way for volunteers to help. This is because the clean up can be dangerous and hazardous to ones health.

They are still recruiting what they consider experienced volunteers to help with the BP oil spill clean up. These are people that are skilled in wildlife observation and tracking. But even people with these skills are more then likely not going to make it to areas that they can actually help in. Bp has people that are employed by them and trained in this type of clean up working to get the oil spill under control. Even those that are trained in this area are still having a hard time. Some workers have been hospitalized.

The clean up has been taking place for over eighty days now. The BP oil spill clean up is harder now because of hurricane season causing the waves to reach heights of fifteen feet and the windiness of the season is not helping either. The oil spill itself is considered America's worst oil spill ever. Costing over three billion dollars with money going to pay claims made by businesses that have been took over by the spill. It is predicted the amount will rise while cost of clean up efforts are increasing.

Cleaning up the oil spill is a lot harder then expected. The efforts of the individuals involved are making a difference in the Bp oil spill clean up. It is safe to say that for everyone involved including the many people who just see the devastating images of the spill that people just want it to go away. But wanting it to go away is not enough. The clean up is going to be long and hard.
