This starts off with a bike ride through the French Quarter.  Then NOmadjik Media Bus travels from Frenchmen St. New Orleans to the French Broad River Hot Springs North Carolina.  In route I stop off in Tuscaloosa Alabama with donated supplies for the tornado disaster zone.  I hook up with John Wathen who gives the run down on the enviro-friendly tactics he's pushing to use in Hurricane Creek, which happens to have been 1 of the most bio diverse areas on the planet.  If you're looking for a volunteer opportunity why not help him ensure that it remains 1 of the most bio diverse areas on the planet?

On the Watch List, our regular series about the people and agencies
charged with overseeing our health and safety, we examine what went wrong at the Upper Big Branch mine in April of this year, when a portion of the mine blew up, killing 29 men. The U.S. government called the explosion “the worst mining disaster in almost 40 years.” The mine is
owned by Massey Energy, the sixth largest mining company in America.

Looking back at 5 years of Hurricane Katrina Relief, Malik Rahim, co-founder of Common Ground Collective, looks at the positive and negative causes and effects.  Including his opinion about Brandon Darby, a co-founder who turned out to be an FBI informant.

Here's a play list of some of my Katrina videos
that had been lost in CyberSpace for several years.

Turner takes us on a tour of the fledgling home school he is creating in the former Blair Grocery in New Orlean's lower 9th ward. It was the only grocery store in the area and the 1st black owned business in the lower 9th ward.

Live from the NOmadjik Media Bus.

The Bus is providing this free kitchen with internet access so they can continue feeding those in need in the deep Bayou. The people who populate this area have been here for hundreds of years, they are indigenous. They receive NO HELP from the government because the government would like them to move, they can not move without loosing their oil and mineral rights and they can not exploit their oil and mineral rights because the government/corporations don't want red skins to profit.

HOUMA — Everybody has a right to a home-cooked meal, regardless of their income or situation in life.

Everybody's Kitchen volunteers Anne and Floppy, both of whom use only their first names, prepare dinner Monday inside one of the organization's two buses outside St. Charles Bromeo Catholic Church in Pointe-Aux-Chenes.

That's the premise of Everybody's Kitchen, a group of volunteer chefs who retrofitted an old school bus into a self-sustained, solar-powered kitchen that they use to travel the country feeding the homeless and providing disaster-relief meals.

The organization has temporarily set up shop at St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church, 1237 La. 665 in Pointe-aux-Chenes. They're preparing breakfast and dinner for residents of Pointe-aux-Chenes and Isle de Jean Charles, as well as shipping meals to Dulac residents.

Anyone can stop by and pick one up, said Everybody's Kitchen volunteer James McGuinness.
