Audubon Arkansas offers meeting in Little Rock with people representing Gulf Coast victims

Clean Energy Works is hosting the Gulf Voices Fly-Out in order to share the personal stories of the devastating effects of the Deepwater oil disaster with communities and members of the press across the country. Four Gulf Coast residents directly affected by the disaster will be traveling to Arkansasfor approximately 24 hours in order to educate the people in the state about the effects of the oil disaster on business, health and ecosystems. The public is encouraged to attend. The disaster in the Gulf affects real people whose stories resonate across the country. These Gulf Coast residents are seeing firsthand how America’s dependence on oil and other fossil fuels hurts our economy, our environment and their unique way of life in the Gulf. The worst environmental disaster in our nation’s history is happening in our backyards. The environmental, economic and human costs that come with our continued dependence on dirty fossil fuels is too high for our communities to bear any longer. What: A roundtable discussion and media availability. When: Thursday, July 15th at 11:00 AM Where: The Oyster Bar 3003 West Markham Street Little Rock, AR 72205-5853  Who: Rick Roberts, Executive Director, Snook Foundation (Sarasota, FL) Linda Hawkins, Health Care Professional (ret.)
