Five Ways to "Do Something" about the Oil Spill

Remember "Five Things?" It was a new blog theme/meme designed to further appeal to the tl;dr crowd. Here are five new things and this is a BONUS because it also deals with current events.

Five Ways to "Do Something" about the Oil Spill
  1. "Boycott" BP while continuing to consume as much oil as before from other oil companies
  2. Buy an expensive, useless product that garishly proclaims your aversion to oil spills and/or love for seabirds (preferably a t-shirt or bumper sticker) and/or gives at least 1% of profits to conservation/environmental causes
  3. Get angry at the government for not cleaning up the spill quickly enough
  4. Add some "oil dripping" graphic to your twitter avatar (via green Iran activism)
  5. Write a blog post or two offering one-sided opinions, freshman year-level philosophy, and largely unfeasible "solutions" without considering the unique circumstances of readers

    I just wanted to share that I've probably referenced or otherwise thought of this post every day since it was posted (ok it's only been like three days...).

    By the time I got to number 5 I was feeling guilty for hating on people that probably care but are just a lil' misguided (i.e. 1-4)...

    And realized that 5 was basically all I've done :T

    Hey, I am donating my used panty hose to clean it up. Isn't that enough?
