Hi everybody!
Project195 has an opportunity for good natured people like yourself ,to save America's wetlands from deteriorating further.Please contact me if interested.NOTE There is no oil clean up for volunteers.The state of Louisiana requires you to take a HazMat course, which costs over $100.00 and takes 3 days to complete.If you do not have said course and ID badge, you will be chased off the beaches.
Also, the people of Louisiana who are out of work due to the disaster are working for BP, and do not want you doing work they will get paid for , for free.So, that being said, the best course of action to protecting the ecologically vital wetlands, is to restore the bayous,with trees and grasses, destroyed by the spill.Not only for the indigenous species of animals, but also for the residents of the greter New Orleans area.The bayous and wetlands protect low lying areas from storm surge and flooding, and also act as a natural sponge scrubbing the air as well as water going into the Gulf.
As of today, we had over 400 fantastic people help America heal this vital ecological region.
We will leading groups throughout the fall, and have lodging vacancies available, at about 80% less than a hotel.
Hope to hear from all of you soon.
Cheers,
Dave (DT) Skoblar Project195 Director

Description
Project195 is an eco-humanitarian non-profit,"HANDS ON" organization.Meaning, we don't raise money for the sake of raising it, nor do we raise money to give it to another charity or group.We actually DO THE WORK with whatever funds we raise.
All of our funding goes directly to sending our people where they're needed, with the supplies for the task at hand.
Project195 provides all types of humanitarian aid including, but not limited to; construction, irrigation aid and supplies,water purification, disease prevention and sanitary aid.Environmental disaster recovery,community clean ups, energy audits and education seminars, is another facet of what we do to ensure that this and generations after us can enjoy this planet we all call home.
A recognized charity in 2008, we started as a club directly after the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina in 2006.Over the past six years we have far exceeded expectations, including our own. Project195 has enlisted thousands of volunteers, at hundreds of work sites all across the United States.
Join one of the fastest growing forces for good on Earth today, and start making a difference in someone else's life and your own.
