But we CAN stop the next disaster - we’re taking action right now and we urgently need your help.
Dolphins, turtles, pelicans and the residents of Louisiana are just some of the victims paying a horrible price as millions of gallons of oil pour into the ocean and onto the beaches of the Gulf. We were on-the-ground with our boat days after the spill providing scientists, oil spill experts and the media first-hand access to ensure that the full truth is known about this tragedy.
Please donate today to end offshore drilling and save the Arctic Ocean from a similar fate.
As BP fails to contain the damage they’ve caused in the Gulf, oil giant Shell are seeking a decision from Interior Secretary Ken Salazar to allow them to drill off the Arctic coast this summer. Any disaster in this harsh and remote region would be catastrophic for the region’s polar bear, walrus, and bowhead whale populations.
Yesterday our activists took action using actual oil from the spill to paint “Arctic Next?” on the bridge of a drill supply ship contracted by Shell and due to head to Alaska for their Arctic drilling. Seven activists were arrested and are now being charged with felonies, for standing up to protect our oceans. Meanwhile, BP has to be criminally charged with anything!
Please make a generous donation today so we can hold companies like BP accountable and stop their plans for new offshore drilling.
I look forward to your support as we expose the truth and defend those who don’t have a voice to express their outrage.
Thank you,
Lisa Finaldi
Campaigns Director
P.S. We must ban offshore drilling. Please help Greenpeace today with your most generous contribution so we can continue our work in the Gulf and in Washington, D.C., making sure that the ban on offshore drilling is instated and that we pass legislation to promote clean and sustainable energy solutions.
