What is GreenARMY?
Russel Honore’ leads GreenARMY, a network of civic, community, and environmental groups and concerned citizens from across Louisiana fighting for meaningful social, political, and environmental change in our state.
Lt. Gen. Honore’ (US Army-Retired) became involved in environmental issues when residents from Bayou Corne - frustrated by the lack of action in the wake of a devastating sinkhole - requested assistance. Honore’ recognized the barrage of pollution, climate, infrastructure and other issues facing Louisianans, from the levee board lawsuit to clean water, and he decided something needed to change.
GreenARMY is working in concert with its partners and allies to address environmental concerns across Louisiana, in our ground, our water and our air. These are just a few critical examples:
Coastal erosion and weather crises intensified by climate change - and their dire impact on our homes and our businesses
Saltwater intrusion in the Southern Hills Aquifer System - the freshwater source for hundreds of thousands of people in south Louisiana
The Bayou Corne sinkhole - are we ready for the next such disaster?
Increased fracking and other oil and gas activity across the state
Toothless oversight of chronic polluters by state and federal officials
Louisiana! We need to work together NOW to protect our communities, to hold polluters accountable and to prepare our children for the future we're leaving them.
Legislative Agenda
GreenARMY works in concert with its member groups and followers to promote smart legislation at the Louisiana State Capitol, focused on protecting our communities and our way of life from pollution. Follow GreenARMY on Facebook for updates to our legislative agenda – and spread the word!
