PARADISE FADED: THE FIGHT FOR LOUISIANA
Coastal Louisiana is disappearing faster than any other landmass on earth. Between 1932 and 2000, Louisiana lost nearly 2,000 square miles of wetlands-- a landmass the size of Delaware. Every thirty-eight minutes, the equivalent of a football field is lost to the Gulf of Mexico.
Experts also say that the United States’ most vulnerable piece of real estate is also its most important. This disappearing landscape protects and supports the nation’s largest port system, thirty-percent of the seafood, and twenty-five percent of the nation’s oil and gas supply.
Paradise Faded: The Fight for Louisiana is a compelling look at the causes, effects, and solutions to the largest environmental disaster in American history; the loss of Louisiana’s Coastal Wetlands and the impact of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005.
Salon hosted at the Bel Air home of Dr. Andrew Schwartz
It will be potluck with a very fancy barbecue grill available. Pat O'Brien's Hurricanes will be served during the film. Bring your Hurricane Glass, if you managed to save it.
