You can get silicone baking mats from Amazon.com (referral link) or from a restaurant supply store like GFS or Business Costco. I really, really like the size I got (13x18-inch). My mats are Sil-Eco brand and have been used dozens of times already and still look brand new.
Oil spillâs effects visible and ongoing. East Grand Terre Island, a barrier island between the Gulf of Mexico and Barataria Bay, some 45 miles south of New Orleans, has been in the news recently because of a massive 25,000-pound BP tar mat that was discovered on the beach and had to be removed.
-Both the long-term and short-term effects of the oil spill have been studied. Immediate effects included the deaths of 100,000 to as many as 250,000 seabirds, at least 2,800 sea otters, approximately 12 river otters, 300 harbor seals, 247 bald eagles, and 22 orca whales, and an unknown number of salmon and herring.
