    Drilling in the Arctic


    Drilling in the arctic is quite simply putting off the urgent problem of oil shortages. In a few years, when we've exhausted the arctic's supply what will we do? How will we function with out oil? If we drill in the arctic, sure gas prices may go down but instead of devoting our time  to finding alternate sources of fuel we'll be working on ruining a beautiful and irreplaceable ecosystem. If we don't drill in the arctic, we'll be forced to face the problem sooner rather than later, however if we keep putting it off we won't only have killed the polar bears, melted the ice caps, and polluted the air some more, but we'll have done it all for nothing. Eventually we will run out of oil, and wouldn't it be better to focus on that problem now, while the polar bears remain alive than later when they'll gone for ever? We have one chance at this, and one chance only... let's not mess it up.

    Starfish Proverb

    http://www.ripplemaker.com/images/Driftwood%20Images/Saving%20Starfish.jpg Ponder the story of a little boy on a beach throwing stranded starfish back into the ocean. "Why do you bother?" a man asked him. "There are hundreds of them. you couldn't possibly save them all." "No," the little boy answered, "but I can save this one, and it makes a difference to him."

    It's time for some change!

    Time is running out! We need to do something fast about our situation or soon it will be to late. Ice caps are melting, polar bears are dying, temperatures rising and we're just sitting around and letting it happen. We can't let this go on! We must spread the word, volunteer, donate and fight for all the innocent animals who are victims of our stupidity and who can't fight for themselves. We are obligated. So let's begin immediately, right now in 2008, making a difference!
