Four Years After BP Oil Spill... Where are we at?

Let Us Not Forget This is (Still) Happening

"There are hundreds of unresolved issues on the Gulf Coast, many of them predating the oil spill. With stories spilling in from all over the place, it’s going to be tough sussing out the true grit from the bullshit. Fortunately the good folks over at the Bridge the Gulf blog got you covered."

"I have lost five friends now who have passed on because they were not able to seek proper treatment to extract the chemicals from their bodies before the exposure killed them."

"BP's oil continues to take its toll on other areas of the Louisiana marsh, where people living in low-lying coastal communities are having to contemplate moving, hence abandoning their culture and way of life, due to the erosion of oiled marsh coupled with rising seas from climate change."

"Why Should We Save Coastal Louisiana?"

This a video I made for work. Bayou Grace Community Services Inc. is trying to inform the nation about the huge issue of coastal land loss that is occurring in Louisiana.
This area is unnaturally losing land fast than any other part of the world. If we dont act fast, it will be lost forever.
Check out the video, and submit your own answer to the question at photoproject@bayougrace.org.
