Container ship Rena that carried 1,700 tons of fuel oil and over 2,000 containers on board ran aground on the Astrolabe Reef near New Zealand. Reportedly, up to 350 tons of oil has been spilled from the ship.

BMW engine can surprise you if you drive 30,000 km (19,000 miles) without changing oil.

Usually you here ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Today, we are telling you ashes to ashes and dust to art.

They say that you can’t get blood from a turnip, but the Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe, thought that Ms. Nomatter Tagarira could get petrol from a rock!

The Chinese are working hours to clean up the oil spill off the coast of Dalian City. About 24 oil clean-up vessels and 800 fishing boats have collected about 460 tons of oil so far. Many people clean up the oil spill with their bare hands.

An interesting post for those who love big numbers…

Oil spill is now observed in China. A pipeline that was transporting oil in the port city of Dalian explosed. The oil workers tried to fix an underwater pump, when one of them began to drown in the oil slick. Good, his co-workers rescued him…

Now Chinese workers understand what birds and other animals felt in the Gulf of Mexico.

The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico has become the biggest disaster in 2010. For many people the new swimming season is ruined as no one would probably like to swim in the oil. These pictures created by Jane Fulton leave a clear future message to such companies as BP.

People couldn’t silently look at how the oil was drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. They finally spoke against oil spill, BP and U.S. government. The following road signs demonstrate what many Americans think about the whole problem.

More than 60 days have passed since the explosion of the oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico.

And the oil and natural gas continue to pour into the ocean, about 60,000 barrels a day. It is better than some time ago – 100,000 barrels…

The governor of Louisiana stated that the damage done goes from $40 to $100 billion…

Here’s a set of the most recent photos from the Gulf.

After the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, many funny pictures appeared mocking BP.

They don’t like it of course, but hey, it’s for the reason that people are doing it.

The situation in the Gulf of Mexico is really upsetting but maybe these images will raise your mood a bit :)

Humans have this annoying habit of messing with Mother Nature wherever they go, whether it's volunteer or not, the result is the same: nature always suffers from human activity.
It's been more than a month and a half now since the Explosion of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig of the Gulf of Mexico and the oil leak has had more than plenty of time to reach the coasts of Louisiana and mess with nature.
Animals are obviously the first and very victims of the leak and we don't count all the seabirds, fish and other creatures caught in the dirty oil slick.
Very sad pictures of this drama await you inside the post...

The road you’ll see in the pictures lies between two Russian Northern cities: Ukhta and Naryan-Mar. And there’s a single road between these two cities. It can’t even be called a "road", it’s a joke. But truck drivers don’t have another choice.

The funny thing is that Ukhta is an important industrial city with plenty oil wells and as we know, oil=money. What’s funny is that oil companies are too greedy to give money to build a good road, plus it’s in their interests…

Now let’s look at this infamous road.

It has been over a month since the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig. It flows into the Gulf of Mexico slowy reaching Louisiana’s marshes. Over 60 miles of Louisiana’s shoreline have been oiled already. The leak will reportedly be plugged with cement and mud this week. Hopefully the oil will be finally stopped. So far about 6 million gallons of oil have spewed into the Gulf. At the same time scientists think the spill has surpassed the 11-million-galon oil spill that occurred in Alaska in 1989.

The amazing oil paintings in these photos are the work of Paul Robert and they really show off his incredible artistic talent. Most are so lifelike they appear to be photographs. His attention to detail makes his paintings photorealistic.
