Urge Congress to Permanently Protect the Arctic Refuge!
Target: U.S. House of Representatives
Sponsored by: Care2
Sponsored by: Care2
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.
And now President Bush has called for drilling in the Arctic Refuge by 2010 in his new budget proposal!
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.

Fossil fools dig for fossil fuels. Yesterday's energy answers don't cut the mustard for the problems of the 21st century. Hermann Scheer (German MP) says we're committing global pyromania: the planetary fire extinguisher is the renewables; wind,wave,tidal, hydro, solar.

This simply will not work. It will only kill off more species and possibly ourselves. We must find another source of fuel other than oil.

Polar bears are already under threat due to global heating. They need all the protection and help they can get.

I am appalled at the way we have let big business destroy our lands to the point that natural wildlife is vanishing. We should nationalize our oil fields and use the profits to benefit the people instead of the plutocracy.

It's more than polar bears at stake, its an entire ecosystem, and by extension, our world as we know it.

what an inane idea. everyone knows that the only beneficiary of drilling in the arctic will be the oil companies and their friends. they are all so blinded by their greed they do not see the short sightedness of their actions. indeed, we must change our energy policies to renewable and non polluting technologies. oil has gone the way of the dinosaur and if we want to survive longer than they did we better start thinking with our heads and hearts and not our wallets.

If we stopped using so much oil, we wouldn't want to drill in a place where animals live. We need to get our act together and realize that if polar bears, or any other animal for that matter, become extinct, we will greatly regret it. Polar bears and all the other animals help make this world bright, and we need them. Please don't hurt their habitat.
