Still wondering about our Fish and if they are healthy to eat?
Still wondering why our water from WASA has the occasional oil feeling in it?
These money making giants are only concerned with milking the country dry of resources while the government could not care less.
We the citizens are only aware of scenarios like this when something happens and it makes one of the news. It goes to show that things like this are always in existence, we are just ignorant to it.

Petrotrin begins clean up in Vance River after child falls into lake of oil
Petrotrin says clean up work in the Vance River community in La Brea is expected to be completed soon and remedial works have been recommended.
This after a four-year-old boy in the area fell into a river and was covered with oil.
In a release, Petrotrin said the oil in the shallow water course seems to be related to an abandoned well.
"One of the access routes to the community is via a makeshift concrete bridge that straddles the watercourse. On Wednesday, 2016 October 19, a four-year-old child slipped off the makeshift bridge into the shallow watercourse. The child was seen by a doctor at Petrotrin’s Medical Centre in Point Fortin and then transferred via Company ambulance to Augustus Long Hospital, at Pointe-a-Pierre for monitoring. Later that day the child was discharged and returned home. The Company continues to monitor and provide follow-up care to the family," Petrotrin assured.
The child, Caleb Hart, of Fitz Lane, Vance River, fell into the river on Wednesday while trying to cross a bridge to go to school.
Residents said they had complained to Petrotrin before about the oil leak and the fumes that are negatively affecting residents in the area.
