BP Deepwater Horizon Gulf oil spill disaster -- resources to help make a difference
More Information
It has been almost two months since the disastrous BP Deepwater Horizon explosion. The resulting oil spill and its impact continues to grow throughout the Gulf of Mexico and, increasingly, across the nation. EarthEcho International's co-founder and CEO Philippe Cousteau has been working since the early days of the crisis to focus attention on the horrendous environmental damage caused by this disaster. He's also spent time talking with individuals in the affected communities about the heartbreaking impact on their lives. We have a clear choice—continue to pollute our planet or fight for a cleaner world.

Gulf Future Campaign - GulfFuture.org
More Information
Gulf Future is a collaborative effort to raise awareness and increase public support for the communities along the Gulf coast affected by the BP oil drilling disaster. This campaign is the brainchild of the Gulf Coast Fund and the Gulf Restoration Network. In May, several folks from our two organizations took a tour of the devastation developing in the Gulf of Mexico and along the coasts of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. Outraged and distressed by what we saw, and anticipating what the future might hold for these communities, GRN and GCF realized that nothing short of a nation-wide outcry about this catastrophe was necessary.
Thus the Gulf Future Campaign was formed. Our vision is a to mobilize supporters from across the nation to show their solidarity with the people of the Gulf Coast.

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.

Founded in 1999 by environmental attorney and activist Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., and several veteran Waterkeepers, Waterkeeper Alliance is a global movement of on-the-water advocates who patrol and protect over 100,000 miles of rivers, streams and coastlines in North and South America, Europe, Australia, Asia and Africa.
Waterkeepers combine firsthand knowledge of their waterways with an unwavering commitment to the rights of their communities and to the rule of law. Whether they’re on the water tracking down polluters, in a courtroom advocating for stronger enforcement of environmental laws, in a town meeting rallying community support, or in a classroom educating young people, Waterkeepers defend their communities against anyone who threatens their right to clean water—from law-breaking polluters to unresponsive government agencies.
