GULF COAST CRISIS
The world continues to watch and wait for word on the containment of the Deepwater Horizon Gulf Coast Oil Spill. Each day new details emerge on the breadth of the spill, its impact to the region and what are sure to be the extensive repercussions to our oceans, coastal habitats, marine life, local economy and the communities’ way of life.
The Pearl Jam community has expressed a collective desire to “do something” in response to the spill. Organizations from across the globe are coming to this region’s aid. The Gulf Restoration Network (www.gulfuture.com) is one of these crucial partners.
Pearl Jam is currently working closely with Gulf Restoration Network to help support the recovery and mitigation efforts in this region. We encourage you to visit www.gulfuture.com today to do what you can as well to help make a difference.
Keep your eye on what’s really going on in the Gulf, how the spill happened, who it’s impacting, and how to ensure it doesn’t happen again.
- Tell Obama to federalize the clean up.
