responsible sun screen use August 16, 2010

Filed under: Commentary — Shawn L. Bird @ 1:19 am

I just noticed my expensive sun screen, the one that we were required to use when we were in Yucatan, Mexico last Christmas.  It is free of harmful chemicals and oils that might damage the sensitive reefs and the aquatic life that depend on them.  I certainly don’t want to contribute to habitat destruction, so I’m willing to shell out the big bucks for reef approved sun screen.

Ironic.

Too bad crude oil doesn’t come in a reef friendly version, eh?

 

What do you think?
