New Orleans, August 24th ~ There will be many events this week to mark the 5th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina throughout New Orleans as we commemorate the thousands of lost lives, and celebrate the spirit of determination as we propel ourselves forward into a brighter future. While any event this week holds special meaning, the following are Live Green’s Local Top Five for the days leading into 8/29:

“We don’t need to destroy any more of America’s precious coasts and marine life,” said Aaron Viles, Campaign Director of the Gulf Restoration Network. He continued, “It’s time to stand up to the oil industry. It’s time to move America beyond oil and into a clean energy future.”

This Saturday June 26th at 11 a.m. your time zone, go to the beach and join hands with your community to say NO to Offshore Oil Drilling and YES to Clean Energy.

For GULF AID ART, each artist was challenged to create a new print edition with the only criteria that they respond / react to the current crisis affecting their home, health, happiness and economic futures. Each artist has created a limited edition print of 10 that will be sold both in the gallery during the limited run exhibition and online via the gallery’s website. In an effort to make the work accessible to the general public and raise as much money as possible, the prices of the works will range between $100 and $500 with the potential to raise $80,000.
