Alaska
Actually…
That ecological disaster was the
second largest oil spill in the
history of the United States, and
it considerate important because
of the large loss of the
ecosystem.
If that disaster had not
happened Alaska and the
world would be different
and they could be
enjoying of the charming
ecosystem that they had.

Most oil spills and most serious
accidents are caused by human error,
so this can be reduced if one takes
