Ask ConocoPhillips not to drill in polar bear habitat
ConocoPhillips, one of the largest oil companies in the world, really wants to drill in Alaska. In fact, they were the high bidder for drilling rights to tens of thousands of acres of pristine polar bear habitat. Yet they have the moxie to proclaim on their web site :
In all of the company's operation, the highest environmental standards are implemented to ensure that the company's actions today will not only provide energy, but will also secure a stable environment for tomorrow.
We're taking them at their word, and calling on them to voluntarily halt any drilling in polar bear habitat.
Look over the message below, and feel free to add your own comments. Using your own words makes the message more meaningful.
Dear ConocoPhillips :
I understand you recently won several drilling bids in the Department of the Interior's Sale 193. I respectfully ask, however, that you pledge not to drill in this area as it is critical polar bear habitat.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

This is horrible, and yet there are more oil companies moving into the habitat. You can also help the polar bears by visiting www.defenders.org This is the Defenders of Wildlife site and they are accepting donation as well as petition to stop the development of these rigs in Polar Bear Habitat. We need to pull together in order to help these animals. They are expoected to be almost extinct by mid century. SAVE OUR POLAR BEARS!!!!!!!

If Conoco Phillips really wants to make advances in energy,they should become the leader in clean, renewable energy sources. This is our future and the companies that prepare for this now will be the companies that survive. |

The future does not include oil-work on new, clean energy sources! The world will thank you spiritually and monetarily!
It would be a wonderful thing if companies such as yourself had a conscious and saw the beauty in these areas. We do not need you to desecrate our remaining landscapes and walk away with billion dollar profits!!! You come to these areas and see dollar signs. Case in point, the alberta tar sands. Every year thousands of migrating birds die in the tailing ponds, which they promised when they started, would be a pristine area. It is not. It is devestation personified. Polar bears and their habitat are too important in this world to lose because of greed. Put that money for these rights into solar power.
The polar bears are in enough danger without drilling added to the fray.

STOP THIS LIE NOW. THE OIL DRILLING IS A KILLER TO OUR ANIMALS AND PLANET. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. SAVE THE MONEY AND FIND NEW WAYS FOR ENERGY. |
Leave the natural homes of our animals alone! We've have taken enough of their land, for man's greed!
