Lucas, now more than ever it's important that our representatives oppose
President Trump's executive order opening up new oil and gas drilling
off our Arctic and Atlantic coasts, and support legislation to further
protect all American coastal waters from expanded offshore drilling.
President Trump just set the Arctic and Atlantic coasts on the path to catastrophe. His latest executive order attempts to reverse existing policy that permanently protects these vital waters from dangerous oil and gas drilling. This would leave our oceans and coasts vulnerable to devastating oil spills while driving climate-wrecking carbon pollution and threatening our clean energy future.
Sign the petition now and tell your representatives: our environment must remain a priority.
Offshore drilling threatens our oceans, marine wildlife and coastal communities with the risk of catastrophic oil spills.
It's up to Congress to stop this disaster before it's too late. Tell your senators and representative to support critical legislation to fight Trump's assault on our coasts and permanently protect the Arctic and Atlantic, and all American coastal waters, from drilling.
The Interior Department itself estimated a 75% chance of a major oil spill in the Arctic's Chukchi Sea if drilling proceeds. More drilling also sets us back in our fight against climate change and slows America's transition to clean energy.
Passing bills like the Stop Arctic Ocean Drilling Act, the Clean Ocean and Safe Tourism (COAST) Anti-Drilling Act and other legislation is a crucial way to keep Big Oil off our coasts for good.
Sign the petition from the NRDC Action Fund. Urge your senators and representativ e to support any legislation that further protects our oceans, marine life and coastal residents from reckless oil and gas drilling.
Keep fighting,
