Korean Oil Spill


Mr. Bae, the sixth grade teacher at my school, is very much into the environment. Each month he and and group of friends get together and consider it fun to try and stump one another about different kinds of plants and animals that make up Korea. Today he sent me a minute long video he put together of images from the oil spill just off Mallipo beach. It hasn't even been a week and the story no longer makes up the front page of the news paper here. The clean up is nowhere near being done and like a true environmentalist, Mr. Bea has committed himself to helping out. The pictures are from a Korean NGO and if you have the time you should check out the horrible mess that awaits him.
