No Offshore Drilling in Polar Bear Habitat!
Target: Interior Secretary Dirk KempthorneSponsored by: Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund
It's no secret that polar bears are in trouble. Global warming and habitat loss are driving these majestic animals to the brink of extinction.
Yet even as the government's own scientists have acknowledged these threats, the Bush/Cheney Administration has just announced oil and gas exploration plans that would disturb essential polar bear habitat and fuel America's dependence on fossil fuels that cause global warming.
Sign our petition to urge Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne to delay the planned February 6th sale of oil and gas drilling rights in the Chukchi Sea until the impact on the area's polar bears can be adequately determined.

In an age where we should long be past the use of fossle fules we still bow down to the oil Gods. Be responsible and promote new energy methodes and end the use of fossle fules and Nuclear energy... they only polute, and you know there is a better alternative. Time to be responsible!

I think there is enough damage going on in the Arctic right now, without adding to the environmental issues by offshore drilling. I think the government should put that money into developing/refining renewable energy source technologies.

We've done enough of pushing animals out of their territory already!!!
