Picture this: a mama polar bear watches her cubs play. They stumble and roll through the snow. But all mama bear can think about is their next meal. Her hunting grounds are MELTING AWAY and if things don’t turn around soon, she and her cubs will starve.

The Arctic is melting twice as fast as anywhere else on Earth. The climate crisis is hurtling the remaining 900 Southern Beaufort polar bears toward extinction – and time is running out.

Meanwhile, cruise companies like Carnival Corp are sending their massive cruise vessels through these fragile Arctic habitats. The ships spit climate-warming emission into the air, dump wastewater into our oceans, and scare away food for local people and polar bears. 

We need 1,381  more people from your state to hit our goal to convince the EPA to rein in greedy cruise companies and protect the Arctic before it’s too late! >>

Friend, let me give you an idea of just how much destruction these giant ships are capable of generating. Carnival Corp carried 11,000 tons of hazardous heavy fuel through Arctic waters in a single year. 

Arctic Indigenous communities face the repercussions of these industry as well. Not only is their home melting, but cruise ships scare away fish and other marine wildlife that these communities rely on for food and sustenance. But the cruise corporations don’t care as long as their profits increase. 

Please, Friend –  PROTECT THE ARCTIC and send your message to the EPA right now!

Standing with you,
