Susan references the chemical "dipropylene glycol methyl ether," which is found in the chemical composition of Corexit 9500, below.
Susan also references BP's recent launch of the grade-school education program, which seeks to teach children how the cleanup process works, and that the seafood is safe, among other things.
"The primary purpose [of the demonstration] is to inform and educate students on the methods used to clean up the oil in the Gulf and the wetlands and marshes," Janella Newsome, BP media liaison said in a press release. "It's also to dispel myths about dispersants, subsurface oil and seafood safety."
"This is the first session of many going on," Charles Gaiennie, a BP representative said at Oaklawn's library last week. "We are starting here in Terrebonne Parish with eighth grade because they are the first of school age kids that have a defined science class. We wanted to reach out to schools that are near communities that have been directly impacted by the oil spill, so Terrebonne was a good choice. There's a lot of information that's out there isn't current or accurate."
"The plan is to conduct these science projects in affected parishes including Terrebonne, Iberia, Vermillion, Jefferson, Lafourche, Plaquemines, Orleans, St. Bernard, St. Mary and St. Tammany," Newsome said. "The science project was very successful very well received by students [at Oaklawn]."

Susan also references BP's "Dockside Chats." Per bpcomplaints.com, the dockside chats allow "for a dialogue between local fishermen and representatives from government agencies engaged in rigorous efforts to ensure Gulf seafood safety following the oil spill." According to restorethegulf.gov, dockside chats were launched "in order to promote accurate information about the safety of Gulf seafood from waters open to fishing." The chats are "designed to engage fishers, shrimpers, oystermen and crabbers, as well as local officials in discussions about steps being taken to verify the safety of Gulf seafood."
