 There is currently a plan underway to open wide areas of the Arctic to oil drilling.
Despite the overwhelming objections of scientists, native communities and Members of Congress, the Bush Administration has reversed many of these protections and plans to allow drilling in nearly all the remaining Teshekpuk Lake area, as well as other parts of the Western Arctic region.
We need to act and take a stand now. 70 million acres in the Arctic Ocean are already open to oil and gas drilling. The Sierra Club says, "What our country needs is a cleaner, smarter Energy policy that focuses on safe renewable forms of energy."
Please don't think I am biased because I am a member of the Sierra Club.
But I couldn't possibly agree more with their statement! That is exactly what needs to be done. Less reactive and more proactive measures need to be taken!
Go here and do your part.Labels: energy efficiency, environment, oil drilling |
