Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill: Global Green's Response
GLOBAL GREEN USA RESPONDS TO THE GULF COAST OIL SPILL...AND NEEDS YOUR HELP!
On April 20, 2010 there was an explosion at the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig, killing 11 plaform workers and injured 17 others, and resulting in the largest offshore spill in U.S. history, with tens of millions of gallons spilled to date, and the nations worst environmental distaster. All attempts to cap the well have thus far failed.
Global Green USA, one of the leading green voices in New Orleans, is responding to the nation’s largest environmental disaster by supporting the communities impacted, helping to document the devastation, and fighting for more legislative regulation of the oil industry and increased investment in renewable energy and clean technologies.
