Gulf Oil Spill Aerial Message Event May 16

JOIN THE LOUISIANA FISHING COMMUNITY IN SENDING A MESSAGE THIS SUNDAY, MAY 16TH IN GRAND ISLE

Global Green USA is pleased to be collaborating with aerial artist John Quigley on Sunday, May 16th at Grand Isle, Louisiana to send a global message about the impacts of the Gulf oil spill on families and fishermen.

WHEN: The event starts at 12:30pm

WHERE: Bridge Side beach on Grand Isle (when you go over the last bridge into Grand Isle the beach is immediately in front of you. Parking is slightly towards the right and with access to the berm)

Click here to RSVP & tell us how you can participate. Here is what we are looking for:

• Help recruit people to come down on Sunday and populate the image
• Come down early on Sunday - 11 AM - and help with the layout of the image
• Take photographs/shoot video of the event on the ground
• Bring food items that will be distributed to the local shrimping and fishing community inpacted by the oil spill (ideally staples, snacks, canned and packaged foods that can last several days and that are healthy and organic if possible)
• Bring folding tables to hold food during the cookout

During the event, the local community - including shrimpers, fishermen, local business owners, families and concerned citizens - as well as environmental groups, and other participants will be invited to help form a message that will be photographed from the air. The event is a call to action for a full clean up of the spill, restitution for lost jobs and income, and accelerated efforts to move to green energy and green jobs. The event concludes with a community cookout - food will be provided but they are short on rolls and buns - bring some along with drinks and plates - no plastic please!
