How to Help the Gulf Coast Oil Spill Response | TakePart Social Action Network
More Information
In the wake of the massive oil leak off the coast of Louisiana, many individuals and organizations are responding with offers of donations and manpower. Over a month has passed since the spill, and oil has begun to kill wildlife and wash ashore. The oil spill is already far larger than the 1989 Exxon Valdez accident that spilled at least 250,000 barrels of oil off the coast of Alaska.
Several wildlife organizations are moving teams into the region, and BP—which was leasing the now-sunken oil rig—has activated a hotline for those wishing to offer assistance.

The Louisiana Bucket Brigade is a 501(c)(3) environmental health and justice organization working with communities that neighbor the state's oil refineries and chemical plants. The EPA-approved “bucket" is a simple, community friendly tool that fenceline neighbors use to take air samples. We complement the community group by adding a level of technical expertise to their work. We provide this tool and training to community members to monitor and expose industrial pollution as it happens. We assist residents in their fight to reduce pollution and protect public health. We work with community groups to help them take air samples and achieve their goals, be it relocation away from a polluting facility, reduced pollution, or a moratorium on facility expansions. The more evidence the communities gather, the more power they have to attain their goals.
