Reject Arctic drilling!
The Obama administration gave conditional approval to Shell's plans to drill in Arctic waters despite overwhelming risks to Arctic communities, wildlife and our climate.
It’s not too late. But we need to make our voices heard now.
After a public outcry, President Obama showed climate leadership in vetoing the Keystone XL pipeline bill.
Now, we need to make sure the President hears us again — loud and clear: No Arctic Drilling!
Ask our President and the Department of the Interior to show climate leadership and protect the Arctic by rescinding Shell's Arctic drilling lease.
Federal officials would have us believe that oil and gas activity in the Polar Bear Seas would cause only “minor to moderate” impacts on polar bears, bowhead whales, walrus and other vulnerable wildlife.
But the oil giants plan to use high-powered airguns that emit deafening noise -- loud enough to disrupt the feeding and breeding activities of whales hundreds of miles away.
And an uncontained oil spill in these ice-filled waters could be catastrophic.
Polar bears swimming in thickly-oiled waters will most certainly die. Whales and dolphins would suffocate as their blowholes fill with oil. A spill could blanket the coastline with a layer of toxic oil for generations to come.

whales dance, polar bears prance
for the people say no, no way, no drills in the open sea today
ocean beings and you and me, can celebrate this victory
for these sweet blue waters, and its wild water families
reborn over the waters, the elemental air,
blows onto the land to us, makes our skies more fair
future life and you and me, can celebrate this victory
for these sweet ocean waters, and earth’s many families
reborn over the waters, the waters crystalline,
flows onto the land to us, makes our shores so fine
so human babies coo, and wildlife babies, do as you do
and my lungs, and your blood, know its better too
governments do change, so we keep a careful watch
greed might say again yes way, to drill baby drill today
but now the people say no, no way, no drills in the oceans today
so seals dance, penguins prance

For years, Shell has been vying for one environmental jewel that has remained off-limits to the company’s drill rigs: the Polar Bear Seas off the northern coast of Alaska, including the coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. https://www.nrdc.org/stories/shell-and-high-water
Royal Dutch Shell plans to drill for oil spring 2013 in the arctic Chukchi and Beaufort Seas off the northern coasts of Alaska, but watchdogs and environmentalists are not yet convinced that Shell and federal regulators have taken enough steps to prevent or contain a potential oil spill in the treacherous and icy waters. http://truth-out.org/news/item/13540-watchdogs-sa...
