How to Help: The Gulf Coast Oil Spill

In wake of such catastrophic events such as Gulf Coast Oil Spill, we always wonder "What Can We Do?". I recently posted an amazing article from TakePart.com on my blog with over 10 ways we can do our part to save our beautiful coast. Still want to do more but can't join the clean up?

Here's a really easy way to help our coast:



Fleurty Girl, local New Orleans Tshirt Designer, is selling a 'Rescue Me' Tshirt with all proceeds going to the Audubon Institute's Louisiana Marine Mammal & Sea Turtle Rescue Program (LMMSTRP). The tshirt is organic cotton and printed with soy inks-- no petroleum products were used in printing!

That's it! Buy a Tshirt and 100% of the proceeds go to helping the oil spill clean up.
