BREAKING: Shell abandons 2013 Arctic Drilling!

02/28/2013 Nativegrl77 2 Comments

Just a few hours ago, Shell announced that it is giving up on its plans to drill for oil in the Alaskan Arctic in 2013.

That means no drilIing in the pristine waters of the Chukchi and Beaufort seas this year. It’s amazing news. Not just for the Arctic, but for the environment. And your support made it possible.

I’m so inspired right now. The fight isn’t over though. We’ll be working in the days, weeks and months ahead to make sure that the good news doesn’t stop here by urging President Obama to make the Arctic off limits to industrial exploitation, forever.

But for the moment it’s all about enjoying what we’ve accomplished together. Thank you so much for all the work you have done to protect the Arctic.

Sincerely,

Philip Radford
Greenpeace Executive Director

Campaign 2013 ::: the Arctic

12/24/2012 Nativegrl77



What a year! As 2012 comes to an end, I want to take a minute to look back on an amazing first year for our global campaign to save the Arctic. A year that wouldn’t have been possible without your support. It all started in March when Greenpeace activists (including Xena Warrior Princess star Lucy Lawless) occupied one of Shell’s drillships in New Zealand. The outpouring of support for that activity let us know that we had something big on our hands. From there the movement only grew. Over two million people joined the likes of Paul McCartney and Jude Law by adding their names to our Arctic Scroll, we sent ships to the Alaskan and Russian Arctic, fought Shell in court, organized a global week of volunteer action, had some fun with the Yes Men that exposed millions more to our campaign and…the list goes on. It all added up to more than we could have imagined. Shell didn’t drill this year and your support was a big reason why. This is why I work for Greenpeace. I believe our campaign to save the Arctic will be one of the defining environmental fights of this generation. I’m so proud of everything we accomplished together this year, and expect even bigger things in 2013. From my family to yours, thank you. Philip Radford Greenpeace Executive Director P.S. We have even bigger plans for our Arctic campaign in 2013 and for all our work to protect the environment, but they all depend on your support. Can you chip in today?

Stand with the Arctic

The Inupiat people have relied on the bounty of the Arctic Ocean for thousands of years. The ocean is their garden. Today, they continue to live in harmony with polar bears, bowhead and beluga whales, seals, sea birds and walrus. But Shell‘s plans to drill for oil in the pristine Arctic Ocean threaten their way of life.

On Thursday evening, July 12, people across the country and across America‘s Arctic will gather in solidarity at Stand with the Arctic Vigils. Will you join us?
