Hey everybody this is Ben from greenmi.net again and I came across a really really
cool web site
it's called ifitwasmyhome
dot com
and this is the way to take
the oil spill
and kind of bring it home
take a look at
how large it is in
correlation to where you live
I will put up the link to this site down below
so you can click on it whenever you want
this is a this is
kind of puts it in...
well put it in perspective for me anyway and I think this will do the same for you if you go to
ifitwasmyhome.com
and this is how you use it
here is the oil spill
obviously in it's
current location you can see how big it is
you can tell it's
pretty huge
and we'll just go ahead
and put in a
location. I will put in mine
and it takes a little while
but look at that it takes up
all of northern Washington
where I currently am right there
and it takes a little while the lito load but
as you can see
it takes cut
it takes up all of Seattle, Tacoma and into Canada
and it's google maps so
it's really easy to move around...there's the spill
I just typed in Connecticut. I just wanted to see here real quick...
Wow, that's insane...so if this oil spill was in your neighborhood,
if you live in Connecticut
or Massachusetts
you can kind of see here
%um
I mean it takes up the whole thing. I am kind of speechless the
that kind of put's it in perspective for me
right here it is. It takes up over
half of New York.
I've just typed in Utica because it's centralized
you know
I spit
it's like half the state
it's not a little slick
and with the click of a button you can
put it back in the gulf.
There it is back in the middle and it updates...
every day it was a little different.
the a few days ago couple days ago
so...
when you get a chance guys go to ifitwasmyhome.com. That is if you care about
this sort of thing or you have a few minutes to play around and
see where the oil spill
how big it is in comparison to where you live
this tragedy
what all it would
impact around you so...

post will be on greenmi.net
