Gulf Coast local Lamar Billups writes a poignant guest blog, via our US office:
First I would like to thank Greenpeace for allowing me the honor of writing a blog for the one-year anniversary of the BP oil disaster. You are the best, and, on behalf of the millions of people on the gulf, we thank you for the research and help you gave after us this spill.
I remember the first time I smelled the oil: I was at my son’s
baseball game. Part way into the game everyone began to smell something
like burning tires.
