A picture really is worth a thousand words. In this case, it’s worth a lot more than that.
I was listening to NPR this week for the 10,000th time talk about the oil spill and interview both experts as well as locals in the Louisiana area. I was thinking to myself that even though I was receiving all this first hand information it was still so hard for me to truly grasp because the disaster is just so far from where I live and doesn’t actually impact my daily life. Maybe the price of Gulf oysters will go up but that’s a far cry from having your 3rd-generation fishing business wiped out.
Then I heard about this unique website called http://www.ifitwasmyhome.com. This website puts a visual representation of the magnitude of the oil spill onto a Google map and lets you move the spill to your hometown. The result it shocking.
