Questions
*Why was BP hiding these chemicals from the public when the spill was occurring?
*Will getting rid of a toxin, with a toxin help the environment?
*Do you think that a chemical dispersant will get rid and dispose of all of the oil, or will some remain?
So people still bought their products.No.Some will remain.
ReplyDeleteQuestion 1: they had to look like they were doing something good
ReplyDeleteQuestion 2: No.
Question 3: Depends on how accurate they are. I doubt they have it perfect, though.
1.)Likely because they would not be credible as a company if they did tell the public.
ReplyDelete2.)In the short term yes but in the long no it would only go on to do more damage then it could fix.
3.)I think that it would get rid of most of the oil but I also think that it would be hurtful to the environment even as the oil is.
1. BP was hiding the chemicals so that the people's trust in the company didn't hinder.
ReplyDelete2. No. Killing one toxin with another is counter productive. The dispersants will leave behind a toxin more toxic than the oil.
3. I think that minuscule amounts of oil will remain, but major amounts of dispersant that didn't decompose.
1.so that they would not complain about them and ruin the buisiness
ReplyDelete2.No, it could even create an even bigger problem
3.It would probably get rid of the majority of it, but who know what else it is going to do in the process?
1. By hiding the bad side of the chemicals, BT looked like the good guy in this situation, therfor making themself popular with buyers. If word got out that they might actually be harming the environment instead of helping it, sales might go down. While hiding the toxin wasn't the right thing, it was better business sense.
ReplyDelete2. No, because frankly, it would amount to trying to fix a problem with a bigger problem.
3. Yes, it would actually get rid of almost all of the oil(some might be left behind) but in the process, it would have other types of negative effects, like poisaning fish and other sea creatures, which would lead to messing up the whole food chain.
