Before Paradise is Lost: The Oil Spill in the Gulf and Our Community Response
Wednesday, May 26, 2010 | 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm
Green Building Resource Center, 841 Carondelet St.
Global Green will be devoting this month’s panel to our collective response to the Deepwater Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico - to discuss strategies as we mobilize, organize and promote training opportunities for volunteers and paid workers who wish to join the efforts to save our coastal communities, wetlands, and way of life.
Please join us for this important evening as we come together as a community with scheduled representatives from organizations including the Gulf Restoration Network, the Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana, Louisiana Bucket Brigade and the Lake Pontchartrain Basin Foundation to discuss action plans in response to this man-made and avoidable disaster - how we’ll clean up the catastrophic mess in the coming weeks, assist the people of the communities most directly affected - and how we can restore and protect our coastlines, our environment, and our future.
