Dear NRDC Activist,
12 years after the Deepwater Horizon tragedy — which poured at least 134 million gallons of crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico — we're still finding oily residue on marshlands.
The marine life, the tourism, the communities, the fishing industry – all of it was sacrificed in the name of profits for Big Oil. The region still hasn't fully recovered, despite years of cleanup.
And now fossil fuel companies want to expand offshore drilling across our coasts? Help us stop them!
Donate just $5 now and your gift will TRIPLE in impact to help fight fossil fuel companies and their mad crusade for endless profits and protect our environment on all fronts. Every $ = $$$, up to $400,000, but only until midnight on December 31.
Fossil fuel companies think we've forgotten. They promise they can drill safely off our coasts.
But these are the same empty promises made before Deepwater dumped 134 million gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico and destroyed one of the world's greatest ecological treasures.
We can't continue to rely on oil and gas drilling. Our ecosystems — our very planet — cannot take any more.
Your 3x MATCHED donation of just $5 right now helps us stop new offshore drilling and fight Big Oil by:
NRDC has been Big Oil's arch-nemesis for decades.
We've sued oil giants and won. We've defended the Arctic Refuge from drilling. We've stopped new leases on public lands. And we've forced polluters to clean up their mess, time and again.
This end-of-year goal is so important to funding this work. All it takes to make a difference is $5.
Donate today to help stop Big Oil's plans that could very well wreck our coasts and accelerate us toward a climate meltdown. Every gift will be 3x MATCHED, up to $400,000, until December 31.
Please, join the thousands of supporters like you who have already responded, and be the reason we can win against Big Oil again.
Sincerely,
Valerie Cleland
Senior Oceans Advocate, Nature Program, NRDC
