Explosive Conservation: Restoring Wetlands with a Big Bang!

wow! omfg! id like to be on there when the bombs exploded:D

Those teal were like, lets get the fuck outta here nigga!

Anyone interested in coastal restoration efforts should get involved with America's WETLAND: Campaign to Save Coastal Louisiana. The foundation works to raise public awareness of the impact Louisianas wetland loss has on the state, nation and world and to gain support for efforts to conserve and save coastal Louisiana. Check out the video "Washing Away" and support AWF by subscribing to the channel "marmillionco."

yeah i think so Nah gave me a weeks worth of lols

As a matter of fact the levees were excavated prior to the blasting. However it would've been impossible and downright dangerous to completely remove the levees this way.

As for worries about pollution from the explosives, the only remnants of the blast would've been quickly dissipated fumes (and fewer than would've been created had they dug the whole thing out with fuel burning equipment).

To the best of my knowledge, no birds were killed due to the blast.

They all flew off when the blast happened and were back sitting happy on the newly flooding area within an hour.

Some small rodents may have died due to the overpressure, but the area flooded far too slowly to drown anything, they were all able to run out.

All in all it was a great job to work on (I'm a member of the crew that dealt with the explosives) and quite an interesting way to go about nature conservation.

Simply awesome

Adding a significant tax on gasoline, and using that money only to subsidize the purchase of clean and fuel efficient cars will solve two major problems.
The worlds car manufactures would follow the demand and make a huge shift to producing the most subsidized cars.
The US would quickly reduce our oil imports.
Help to avoid catastrophic climate change.
