The Sediment We Need is Behind Missouri River Dams

Dams with silt behind them

We need it. South Dakota and Nebraska have it. What is it? Sediment! A growing mountain’s worth of Missouri River silt and sand that would have flowed to the Mississippi River and down to Louisiana has instead been trapped behind a border dam

We are the 50th State and Polluters Love Us

Night time pollution

Richmond’s Successors Back Environment

Not much Time

Cedric Richmond was not a spokesman for the environment. That will change regardless of who succeeds him in the House of Representatives. Over the past decade, environment activists in Louisiana’s 2nd Congressional District grew used to Rep. Cedric Richmond’s silence

Advocate Editorial – Oil Wins (no Surprise)

Air pollution

Another Advocate editorial supporting economics only. Pity poor St. James Parish, in the crosshairs of a powerful member of Congress who is not from Louisiana and seems to care little for the economic and social benefits of a major new
