What are some ways that a family can help with oil spill cleanup?

Question

We live in Illinois, but might be willing to use our summer vacation time to travel somewhere to help, if that's possible.  

But, besides that, are there any other ways we can help the volunteer organizations that are doing the work, rescuing wildlife, preserving shoreline, etc?

Using your summer vacation is an amazing idea, good for you & your family!

You can also help by reducing your dependency on oil -- driving less, limiting how much plastic you use (esp. disposable stuff), all of this means we need fewer oil wells overall.
