What Can We Do to Help with Oil Spill Cleanup?
 
Are you watching the latest disastrous updates from the Gulf oil spill and wondering what you can do to help?  From Lisa Heindel, my good friend in New Orleans, comes the timely answer below.  Whether you are native to the region and in a position to volunteer, or like me, stuck in a desert miles away, there are ways in which you can contribute to the effort.  With stunning nonchalance from Beyond Petroleum (the company name alone as rich in irony as the tar that is invading our coastal waters) and the memory of an inadequate federal response to Hurricane Katrina still fresh in our collective memory, it behooves the populace to act.  This is too large of a problem to ignore and wait for the powers that be to correct.  Thanks, Lisa.
 
In New Orleans and along the Gulf Coast, we take for granted easy access to fresh fish and seafood.  We take for granted that we are home to many species that are reliant on the condition of our coastal waters and wetlands to survive.  We take all of this for granted until they are threatened by something that is out of our control.
