Nice job zack...
Much respect for the substance and style of Humid Beings, Zack. Keep our brain bathed in the good, inspired.
For those who never knew how to help with the coast. http://www.americaswetland.com
This has been there for years and will always be a good resource for those who want to help. Whether it involves a catastrophe or not.
This is the future of journalism...forget mainstream media..."there's too many chiefs out there"...go ahead on Mr. Mayor!
-- thanks Zack and HB.
Just to be clear, America's Wetland is a program started by Shell, a company that shares a large chunk of the wetlands destruction pie. Just because BP is in the news and at the center of this tragedy, doesn't mean they're the only ones to blame. I suggest a less biased organization like Gulf Restoration Network or the Lake Pontchartrain Basin Foundation.
I thought it was a damn shame Shell made no public statement during or after Jazz Fest.
They don't care.

Great video. I would love to see more stuff like this.
Good point, Godjilla. The Oil Companies are so slick... and it's impossible to tell what's what without some intense research.
The problem is the Oil companies have these PR machines.... some of them masked as non-profit orgs.
Keep up with Editilla http://nola.humidbeings.com/profiles/detail/408/Editilla-the-Pun who is on a mission to Stop BP PR!
