Help the environment, support local arts and contribute to the oil spill clean up-all in one. Two environmental groups, the Green Monkeys and UL's S.P.E.A.K., are raising money to take 40 people to clean up the oil spill in Venice or Grand Isle.

"We'll take a trip to go to the coast through Coastal Rescue-you've got to take a corporate group with you so they can back you up as far as what to do because you're dealing with a hazardous product," says Green Monkeys Director John Pastor.

"Cans for the Coast" is Saturday June 19th and Sunday June 20th. You can drop off aluminum trash bins, or even your empty coke cans at T'Frere's Bed and Breakfast in Lafayette from 10am to noon.
