Hello! This is the Official Louisiana Bucket Brigade India blog! Who is the LA Bucket Brigade you ask? We are a environmental health justice non-profit based in New Orleans, home to some of the dirtiest industries in the country. We work with communities who are fighting for clean air throughout Louisiana. For more info on us, please check out LABucketBrigade.org
Why are we called the Bucket Brigade? Because we use nifty buckets, to take air samples. The buckets are easy to use, inexpensive to make and take EPA approved air samples.
On Saturday me and Holly begin our journey to India. Originally, we were going to attend an International Bucket Brigade Conference - solidarity facilitates our work and lets us share information and experiences, which are invaluable when you are working against huge refineries and chemical plants. The conference has been postponed because of an emergency campaign against the expansion of a chemical plant near Chennai (south India. We are now going to help out... Rockin!
So stay tuned. I will be putting plenty of travel pics and anecdotes here! India is going to be amazing!
