Fw: Phillips should 86 Drilling Polar Bear Habitat

[Guest guest]

 

 

ConocoPhillips, one of the largest oil companies in the world, really wants to drill in Alaska. In fact, they were the high bidder for drilling rights to tens of thousands of acres of pristine polar bear habitat. Yet they have the moxie to proclaim on their web site :

In all of the company's operation, the highest environmental standards are implemented to ensure that the company's actions today will not only provide energy, but will also secure a stable environment for tomorrow.

We're taking them at their word, and calling on them to voluntarily halt any drilling in polar bear habitat. Join us by clicking the link below, or pasting it into your browser:

For years, environmentalists have been working to protect the polar bear, but, a s you may recall, the Fish and Wildlife Service delayed granting the bears protection under the Endangered Species Act long enough for the land to be auctioned off under their feet.

Now, habitat for more than half the world's remaining polar bear population is at the mercy of companies like ConocoPhillips.

Please help us hold ConocoPhillips to the 'highest environmental standards' - ask them to pledge not to drill in polar bear habitat.
