Louisiana Bucket Brigade

The Louisiana Bucket Brigade is an environmental organization that empowers communities affected by industrial pollution, especially in Louisiana. They use portable air quality monitors, called "buckets," to collect data on pollutant levels directly from neighborhoods. This grassroots approach helps residents document and understand local pollution issues, hold industries accountable, and advocate for healthier conditions. By combining scientific measurement with community engagement, the Brigade raises awareness and pushes for stronger environmental protections and policies to improve air quality and public health.
