Summer Jobs to Defend the Coast |
|
Louisiana
loses a football field worth of wetlands (a.k.a. natural storm protection)
every 45 minutes, and we can stop it!
This summer, work with the Gulf Restoration Network to
organize public support for the “Defend Our Wetlands, Defend Ourselves”
campaign, pressure Congress and oil companies to fix the coast, and recruit
members for the Gulf Restoration Network.
Work in New Orleans
with potential for travel throughout the Gulf, learn valuable outreach and
activism skills, and earn $4,500 to $8,000 for the summer.
Call 504-525-1528 ext 203 to apply!

For a Healthy Delta: Dump the Pumps! |
|
The EPA has announced plans to veto the
Yazoo Pumps Project, which would effectively stop the Army Corp of
Engineers from constructing the world’s largest water pumping plant in
one of the most sparsely populated regions of Mississippi. The project
would drain 200,000 acres of wetlands with the main benefit going to agricultural
interests—all paid for by U.S. taxpayers.
Please take a moment to send an email to the EPA in support of stopping the Yazoo Pumps.
