World's Largest Gift with Purchase

Through July 22nd we will donate 30 percent of our internet-based revenue towards cleanup of the Gulf.

Through my research, I have learned of proposals to collect the Gulf oil spill from underneath and on the water’s surface with readily available oil tankers, the method used to clean the far larger Saudi Aramco spill in 1993. In fact this week, we contacted Nick Pozzi, the engineeer in charge of that clean-up.

He is still waiting for permission from the US Coast Guard to launch his large ships. Meanwhile he is training small shrimp boats to collect the oil.  
The Coast Guard is instead focusing on dispersants, burning, booms and surface skimming, with poor results.  Although Coast Guard Admiral Allen stated on June 10 that the area near the Deepwater well is too crowded with vessels to allow the use of tankers, he did not address the collection of oil elsewhere in the Gulf. 
 

 
In parallel with the Gift with Purchase program, we urge citizens to contact their elected officials and demand that the Coast Guard contract large ships for the Gulf oil spill clean up. 

We’ll tighten our belt to help get tankers into the Gulf.  That’s why I call it the world’s largest gift with purchase, ever. Each one of us must take that sledgehammer and chip away at the senseless bureaucracy that's denying help to the Gulf.
