Now that BP has supposedly capped the oil leak, and the oil seems to have disappeared the urgency to restore what has been lost seems to rapidly be waning. The report that "Mother Nature has done her part" in ending the crisis caught my attention.
Mother Nature is doing her part and has been doing her part.. my concern is that we as a human species must do our part as well. I think it's to early to wipe the slate clean as there are many unknowns. Has the oil just disappeared or has it just changed form and thus seem to no longer be visible in its impact.
Much still needs to be done if we are truly to restore the whole Gulf area and that restoration is not and can not be a quick fix if we truly want health and vibrant life for all life in the months and years to come. Let's not declare done too soon!
