3. Gotta do more than just buy

6. Dishwashing detergent is used to clean oil off of birds and animals, and Dawn is pitching in to help. Purchase a bottle of Dawn and $1 will go towards the Marine Mammal Center and the International Bird Rescue Research Center. Please note that you must go online to activate this donation—it's not automatic with your purchase.

5. Ship massive loads of various cargo to the coast, thereby increasing the demand on oil

Such profits BP reaps will cover their expenses, and then the industry can get back to normal again, providing wonderful fuel for our consumer lifestyles.

12. One of the comments...

Just want to mention that Dawn dishwashing detergent is TESTED ON ANIMALS.

Keep that little piece of irony in mind while trying to save the lives of the animals affected by the oil spill.

Well then, it should be ok to clean animals with it then.
