Putting A Stake in the Heart of the Earth: Actions-Response to the BP Oil Drilling Disaster New Orleans, Louisiana May 25, 2010

Local Leaders gather to address BPODD
On May 25th the New Orleans institute @ Cityworks, together with the Urban Conservancy and a diverse array of other sponsors drew over seventy academics, activists, non-profit leaders and local community leaders living and working in the New Orleans region to discuss the economic, social and environmental implications of the British Petroleum Offshore Drilling Disaster (BPODD).

A short video was prepared on site summarizing the complex implications of this disaster and is available here. A Working Group on the Delta is forming and a report summarizing their concerns and proposed solutions will be available soon.

David Waggonner’s commentary is featured at the midpoint of this video:
