Did you know that Dawn Dish Soap has been involved in helping wildlife for many years? When rescue crews remove the slick black oily film from wildlife affected by oil spills they use Dawn dishwashing liquid. They’ve been doing it for more than 30 years and for almost that long Dawn’s corporate parent, P&G, has been donating money and product to help animals hurt by disaster. But it is only recently that P&G began to involve its consumers. Through its “Dawn Saves Wildlife” campaign, shoppers can go online to activate a $1 donation from P&G with every bottle of Dawn they purchase. It is estimated that Dawn detergent has helped save more than 75,000 animals.
Other ways to get involved:
Check out the information below from the Louisiana Gulf Response website and check out each of the organizations websites...you will find many you can assist in this effort:
In the wake of the BP Oil Spill that is threatening our coast, local, regional and national conservation organizations are coordinating volunteers to assist in local, state and federal recovery efforts in Louisiana.
Our organizations - including the Barataria-Terrebonne National Estuary Program, the Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana, the National Audubon Society, and The Nature Conservancy - are established, active advocates for the preservation and restoration of coastal Louisiana.
We are organizations with a history of on-the-ground work in Louisiana, and we are combining efforts and experience to implement an effective volunteer response and make a real difference in the BP Oil Spill recovery efforts.
