Help Reverse the Bush Administration’s Rush to Drill the Arctic

On his way out of Washington, former President Bush proposed a plan that would not only give away virtually the entire Arctic Ocean to Big Oil—threatening traditional Alaska Native communities and Arctic wildlife—but would also commit the U.S. to continuing to be a lead cause of global climate change. We, however, have an opportunity to stop these plans. Please urge Ken Salazar, the new Secretary of Interior, and the Minerals Management Service to stop Arctic oil and gas projects and keep the new Administration’s commitment to reversing climate change, protecting important ecological areas, and respecting the rights of indigenous cultures.

Pacific Environment has witnessed offshore oil and gas development destroy communities, disrupt traditional indigenous cultures, soil beaches, and kill countless numbers of birds, marine mammals, fish, and other wildlife. The Arctic is particularly vulnerable to the impacts of offshore drilling. With broken sea ice prevalent and waters that are treacherous for oil rigs, pipelines and tankers, the threat of oil spills—for which there is no technology available to clean up—is constant.

We have an opportunity to prevent these catastrophes in our Arctic seas. Join us today in speaking out against offshore drilling in the Arctic.
