Can’t help passing this plea on, a petition to save the polar bears. It is apparently not enough that global warming is diminishing their habitat, but now the danger of oil pollution may add to this catastrophe actually endangering the species, the very existence of the polar bear.
Target: U.S. House of Representatives
Imagine a catastrophic oil spill off the coast of the Arctic Refuge – what would happen to polar bears?
In the past month, 58,000 gallons of oil spilled in San Francisco Bay, 2,000 tons of oil spilled in Russia’s Black Sea, and 10,000 tons of oil spilled off the coast of South Korea.
These ecological disasters will affect wildlife for years.
Tell Congress: protect polar bears and their Arctic home from toxic oil drilling.
The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is one of the most important onshore denning habitats for America’s vanishing polar bears.
But just one toxic oil spill off this spectacular coast could spell disaster for polar bear mothers and their cubs.
Urge Congress to stand up to Big Oil. Please sign our petition to permanently protect the Arctic Refuge today!
Here is the petition, easy to sign on to. The more Americans who express concern, the more likely it will be that Congress will take notice.
We, the Undersigned, endorse the following petition:
The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is home to caribou, snow fox and millions of migratory birds.
It is also the most important onshore denning habitat for America’s vanishing polar bears.
But this natural treasure is constantly under siege. Time and time again, the oil industry and their allies in Congress have sought to open this special place to harmful new drilling, threatening all of the wildlife that depend on it for survival.
We need to permanently protect the Arctic Refuge!
Urge your Representative to support the Udall-Eisenhower Arctic Wilderness Act (H.R. 39) to permanently protect the coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
