1. DO be creative, inventive and all consuming, using existing resources. In the above case, use hair.
2. Don't blow things up. It might have worked for the Russians, but likely chaos will ensue.
3. DO think like NASA, and invent aerogels to sponge up the spills.
4. Don't use a toxic dispersant. The effects on animals, plants and humans is not well known.
5. DO use tools like Ushahidi, a web-based platform that aggregates real time information and maps it. It helps visualise data and organise relief efforts.
6. Don't start racial profiling. Dear Sarah Palin, the oil spill is very upsetting, even for Brits! And not all British people work for BP or condone their actions.
7. DO keep up to date with the efforts. Twitter has some great up to date news and information from the gulf.
