Stop Drilling ni Alaska's Arctic |
 15 Supporters |
|
Bad news for the wildlife that inhabit Alaska's Arctic Ocean: Polar bears, seals, whales, ocean-going birds and 90 percent of the entire Pacific walrus population could be at risk if the government opens new oil and gas leasing in the region.
Incredibly, the Minerals Management Service (MMS) is moving forward on this plan, despite knowing there's a 40 percent chance of a large spill, and that there's insufficient research about the harmful effects of exploration and drilling on the area's wildlife.
There's still a chance to stop this ill-advised plan. Help us demand more from our government. Tell the MMS we need science to guide decisions with such long-lasting effects, not pressure from the oil and gas industry. Until we're certain that drilling can take place safely, all new oil leases should be taken off the table.
Urge the MMS to put a halt to the drilling lease plan today!
