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.

We need to help the polar bear expecially with the global warming that is occuring. It is part of our culture in the Arctic and we need to preserve this for future generations.

What right do we claim to have that we would sacrifice an entire species in order to continue our addiction to oil? How vain can we be forget that we are the STEWARDS of this planet, this whole entire life support system has been placed in our trust, if we fail to honor that trust, we run the very real risk of being eliminated by the ecosystem we were supposed to take care of.

We need to take care of our environment. We have no right to abuse the ecosystem. We don't own it, and we have the responsibility to preserve it for our children and future generations. Let the powerhungty come to their senses and obey the laws of nature.

This particular issue is one that I have concentrated on during the course of my grade school education. I feel that the action that I am fighting by signing this is extremely harmful to the continent's failing biodiversity as well as encouragement for an unsustainable way of life. To depend on nonrenewable resources is to have an unsustainable lifestyle and that is to be destined to fail. Besides that, the ecosystem in the Arctic is far too fragile and valuable to be opened to so many dangers.

There is no way that drilling in the arctic will help us out of the mess we are in. Please vote in favor of real solutions instead of continuing to pander to big oil.
