If you are like me, the oil spill in the Gulf Coast left you feeling a lot of things: anger, dismay, helplessness. As an animal lover, I have been particularly distressed by the plight by the wildlife in the Gulf. But what to do? Our family has boycotted BP, buying our gas elsewhere but that seems so little and indirect.
Craft Hope, in conjunction with several environmental organizations, sponsored a project that offered an opportunity for those of us who crochet, knit or sew to be of more direct help. Wash rags and hand towels are needed to clean oil from dolphins and sea turtles. These were collected and sent to the coast, along with some donations of Dawn dish detergent.

Currently, as of 7-20-2010 the project has been suspended as the needs have been met. I plan to keep my eyes an ears open in case I can jump in and help. To keep up to date on this project you can go to the following link: http://crafthope.com/2010/06/project-8-gulf-coast-oil-spill/.
Craft Hope offers many wonderful ideas and projects for all kinds things that can help your fellow Earthling, be it man, animal or plant! If you decide to help with any of these projects, leave me a comment here. I'd like to hear about it.
