Continued Environmental ConcernsPosted: June 15th, 2010 | Author: admin | Filed under: Printed Eco Gifts | Tags: Ethical |
US President Barack Obama has called on his party and supporters to back a “new future” of clean energy.  Visiting areas affected by the BP oil spill, he said the full resources of government were being used, with 17,500 National Guard soldiers available. BP’s US head, Lamar McKay, is to return to Congress shortly for further questioning.  Oil has been spewing into the Gulf of Mexico since a drilling rig it leased exploded and sank in April. The company has put the cost of the clean-up to date at $1.6bn (£1bn). Mr Obama has been touring Mississippi, Alabama and Florida, on his fourth visit to the region since the spill.  He promised Americans living on the Gulf of Mexico that their beaches would be restored to pristine condition, vowing that he would bring full force to bear on BP to pay for the damage from oil pollution. He is due to put his demands to BP executives when he meets them face to face for the first time on Wednesday.  Remember if your business shares the planet’s environmental worries, and would rather market itself using eco friendly promotional products, then contact the friendly team over at Ecoproducts2order. |
