Thousands of protesters demonstrated in the Mauritius capital Port Louis on Saturday to demand an investigation into an oil spill from a Japanese ship and the mysterious death of at least 40 dolphins that have been found near the site of the spill.

Environmentalists have called for an investigation into whether the dolphins died as a result of the spill caused when the bulk carrier, the MV Wakashio, struck a coral reef last month.

I can't wait for the day when we ditch oil/petrol altogether, though I'm not too hopeful, since their lobbyists hold wayyyy too much power at this point.

Electric cars are the future - and hopefully that future arrives very soon.
