Nana- Polar bear habitat is about to be officially opened for oil drilling. Help us create a global sanctuary in the high Arctic where polar bears will be protected. Polar bear habitat is about to be officially opened for oil drilling. The White House is expected to give the final go ahead any day now for Shell to begin drilling for oil in the Arctic this summer. Melting sea ice from global warming has made Shell’s plans possible. And if the company does find oil, the Arctic oil rush will be on and things will only get worse. That’s why we’ve launched one of our biggest campaigns ever to create a global sanctuary in the high Arctic — making it off limits to oil drilling and other industrial activities. Folks like Paul McCartney, Jack White and 130,000 others have already added their names to our “Arctic Scroll” petition as a symbol of their determination to save the Arctic. But we need you to join them by adding your name today if it is going to become a reality. Sign up now to help us create a global sanctuary in the high Arctic where polar bears and the other living creatures that call it home will be protected. Once we reach 1,000,000 total signatures worldwide, we’re going to take your name, put it on a flag with all the others and plant it at the bottom of the sea 4 km beneath the North Pole. It's big and it's ambitious, but you can make it happen. During the Arctic summer, polar bears hunt on the sea ice. But as the effects of global warming increase and the ice disappears, starving polar bears are forced to swim huge distances in search of food. If this continues, they could become extinct. Their home is melting. Creating a global sanctuary in the high Arctic is critical if we hope to protect polar bears and the other living creatures that call it home. Scientists predict that the North Pole could be completely free of ice during summer within the next few years. Melting sea ice is a warning to humanity, not an invitation for big oil to drill. We have to act now. I don’t just believe that the creation of a global sanctuary in the high Arctic is possible. I know it. Greenpeace achieved the very same thing twenty years ago when Antarctica was declared a World Park, off-limits to industrialization. Now it’s our turn to make history and to do the same thing at the other end of the planet. Sign up today and demand a global sanctuary in the high Arctic Sanctuary for all life on Earth. Save the Arctic, Dan Howells Greenpeace Deputy Campaigns Director
