Help Protect the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge from Oil Drilling
They’re trying to sacrifice our nation’s premiere wildlife sanctuary in order to "solve" problems at the gas pump. But the Bush Administration’s own Energy Department says that drilling in the Arctic Refuge will save consumers only two cents per gallon at the pump – 20 years from now!
Meanwhile, the oil companies would line their pockets with billions more in profits. The oil companies win, while everyone else, including an irreplaceable Arctic ecosystem, the vital birthing ground for polar bears, arctic wolves and grizzlies, loses.
Watch Robert Redford here as he talks about the urgency to block this legislation in a short video featuring the wildlife and wilderness of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
