Protect Arctic Wildlife From Offshore Drilling!
The Arctic Ocean is one of the most fragile, remote ecosystems left on Earth — home to polar bears, whales, dolphins and countless other wildlife. Any drilling in these pristine waters threatens this iconic wild place with the risk of a devastating oil spill and will drive more climate-wrecking carbon pollution for generations to come.
Yet oil and gas companies are still chomping at the bit to sink its drills into the Arctic, where just one oil spill would be an unmitigated catastrophe — and the Obama Administration just gave them the green light. The administration recently released a new five-year plan that puts our cherished Atlantic coast off-limits to Big Oil for now, but opens the Arctic to dangerous new oil and gas leasing and drilling. The good news? The proposal is not yet final — which means there’s still time to convince President Obama to reverse course and protect this spectacular wild place and its wildlife.
Urge President Obama to take the Arctic off the table to drilling, and permanently protect both the Arctic and our cherished Atlantic coast from all new oil and gas drilling forever.
Dear President Obama,
As someone who cares deeply about wildlife, I strongly oppose opening vast portions of our fragile, wildlife-filled Arctic waters to dangerous new oil and gas drilling. Any drilling in these pristine waters threatens the Arctic and its wildlife — including polar bears, whales, dolphins and countless others — with a the risk of a devastating oil spill and will drive more climate-wrecking carbon pollution. Please act now to safeguard our last and greatest wild places like the Arctic, and help protect future generations from the dangers of climate change by permanently protecting the Arctic and our cherished Atlantic coast from all new oil and gas exploration, leasing and drilling forever. Thank you.
