Dear Friend,

Last week, a federal court overturned an offshore oil-and-gas lease sale in Alaska’s Cook Inlet, a vibrant and sensitive ecosystem in southcentral Alaska that’s home to beluga whales, salmon, and sea otters. The decision suspends the oil lease at issue and forces Interior to reconsider its analysis of how vessel noise can harm endangered beluga whales, and contemplate fewer damaging alternatives for the lease.

Cook Inlet also supports thriving subsistence, commercial, and recreational fisheries and a multi-faceted tourist industry that brings in people from all over the world. Alaska is experiencing the extreme consequences of the climate crisis such as coastal erosion, thawing permafrost, and fisheries collapse which would only worsen with oil-and-gas development. This is a win for Alaska Native communities, endangered beluga whales, and future generations.

Over the years, over 56,000 action takers such as yourself urged the government to protect Cook Inlet. Legal advocacy combined with action taking is a winning combination that gets results. Nonetheless, our fight to protect the environment does not end with this decision, and we still need your support. Supporters like you rise to the occasion during every comment period and opportunity – and it makes a difference. Click here to take all the actions below on one page.

Protect our climate forests

The U.S. Forest Service proposed a policy that could reduce logging and destruction of old-growth trees in national forests, but it needs to be dramatically strengthened before it is finalized. Urge the Forest Service to protect the trees.

Urge the EPA to ban the practice of open burning and open detonation of hazardous wastes

For decades, military bases and private facilities have used “open burn / open detonation” to destroy unserviceable and obsolete military munitions. This practice harms the environment and human health as it results in the uncontrolled release of toxic constituents into the air, soil, and water. Urge the EPA to protect frontline communities.

Urge Congress to oppose the Clean Electricity and Transmission Acceleration Act

Senators Joe Manchin and John Barrasso introduced the Clean Electricity and Transmission Acceleration Act – a dangerous bill that will facilitate the construction of more fossil fuel infrastructure that would lock us into decades of fossil fuel use. Join us and urge your Member of Congress to oppose this misguided bill!
