THE GULF:
Earlier this month our friend Dr. Wallace “J” Nichols traveled to the Gulf of Mexico oil catastrophe as part of a response team focused on sea turtle rescue and rehab efforts.
He was able to communicate from the Gulf through CNN, Huffington Post, twitter, Facebook, via dozens of blogs, thousands of websites and millions of computers. He was a scientist-journalist-activist and was able to cut through much of the noise and censorship due to his independence, flexibility and (frankly) lack of bureaucracy, encumbrance and entourage.
WHAT’S NEXT:
J learned a lot on the trip, not just about the tragedy of the moment, but what CAN and should be done. In one month, he is returning and needs our help. Come to support the programs that he and a team of experts will make happen:
– Reporting from The Gulf: press still have limited access, but independent scientists have access and computers!
– Massive effort to save sea turtles: it’s simple but true, turtles can’t wipe their eyes – they are blind in the oil and need help getting out of it.
– Reality Energy Tour: the ultimate “eco tour” – people and organizations will be brought to New Orleans to help support the environment, do hands on rescue, visit “ground zero” of the well and learn first hand why we must become self sustaining.
While the cap is now in place, and the flow may be under control, the work for the ocean remains.
Join the Ocean Revolution!
This event will support these initiatives and others and make possible J’s continued work as an independent voice for the ocean. Here are a few links below to media produced from the Gulf. You can also check his blog atwallacejnichols.org or stay connected via twitter @wallacejnichols
