[[link removed]]You may have noticed it yourself Friend, for most places
across the globe this has been the HOTTEST summer on record! For many, the heat is nearly unbearable. And it’s only getting hotter.

In places where the cold climate is necessary for the ecosystem to thrive, the
record beating heat can only be even more harmful. For the vulnerable polar
bears in the Arctic, the rising temperature could only increase the rate to
their EXTINCTION.

Meanwhile, Big Oil wants the precious Arctic land for fossil fuel projects that
fill their dirty pockets. Drilling and fracking only increases the rate of
global warming, resulting in melting ice caps. The growth of oil drilling and fracking activity will also drive away critical food sources, disrupt bear denning sites, and could even impair polar bear survival mechanisms, such as their ability to feed, hunt, and tend to their baby bear cubs. This is URGENT -- if the Arctic continues to warm at the current rate, experts predict it
could be completely ice-free as early as 2054!

As you read this, the Biden Administration is proposing regulations to prohibit
oil drilling and fracking on Arctic lands. We need YOU to use your voice in
supporting these regulations. The existence of these beloved creatures now falls on us, Friend! Will you fight back with us and PROTECT vulnerable polar bears by
taking action NOW? >>

SIGN THE PETITION
[[link removed]]The Arctic is home to not only polar bears and other wildlife, but to Indigenous
communities who rely on the land, water, and the ecosystem’s fragile balance for
resources. Reckless oil drilling and fracking disturbs this balance by poisoning water sources and driving away fish. Residents nearby also suffer from noise pollution and toxic greenhouse emissions from industrial-sized drilling machines.

The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) was created to protect communities,
animals and the planet from environmentally destructive activities that could
cause irreparable harm. Under NEPA, the current drilling and fracking on Arctic
lands do not only violate these protections but infringes on the communities’
input to protect their homes and quality of life. People, polar bears, and the entire Arctic ecosystem are at risk if we do not
protect them.

Please, Friend, we need environmentalists like you to
speak up for people and the planet. Sign the petition to SAVE the Arctic and the
planet from Big Oil’s corporate greed >>
