Global Green Panel on the Gulf Oil Spill Response

Global Green USA, the American Institute of Architects, New Orleans Chapter and the United States Green Building Council-Louisiana Chapter host a monthly panel series on issues of sustainability in the built environment. This month’s discussion is devoted to the collective response to the Deepwater Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico - to discuss strategies as we mobilize, organize and promote training opportunities for volunteers and paid workers who wish to join the efforts to save our coastal communities, wetlands, and way of life. 

Representatives from organizations including the Gulf Restoration Network, the Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana, Louisiana Bucket Brigade and the Lake Pontchartrain Basin Foundation are scheduled to discuss action plans in response to this man-made and avoidable disaster - how we'll clean up the catastrophic mess in the coming weeks, assist the people of the communities most directly affected - and how we can restore and protect our coastlines, our environment, and our future.

Wednesday, May 26th, 5:30pm to 7:30 pm
Green Building Resource Center
841 Carondelet Street, New Orleans, LA

The event is free and open to the public. Light organic refreshment served at 5:30pm, meeting begins at 6pm.
