About Me

My photo
For me it is All About Being of Service & Living the Life of the Give-Away....

Being Mindful of those who are unable to speak for themselves; our Non-Two Legged Relations and the Future Generations.

It's about walking on the Canka Luta Waste Behind the Cannunpa and the ceremonies.

It's about Mindfulness and Respect. It's about Honesty and owning up to my foibles.

It's about: Mi Takuye Oyacin

Say Yes to Plolar Bear abitats!

NRDC

Dear Kimberly-Ann,
I'm writing to share some disturbing news:
the Obama Administration has given Shell a 
tentative go-ahead to begin drilling next 
summer in the Beaufort Sea, off the coast 
of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

Please read my response to this potentially 
disastrous decision, which appears as an 
Op-Ed in today's New York Times. 
(The text of my Op-Ed piece also appears 
at the bottom of this email message 
for your convenience.)

Thanks to your tenacious support, NRDC 
has staved off one attempt after another
by Shell to drill in this sensitive Arctic 
ecosystem -- home to polar bears, bowhead
whales and a stunning array of other 
vulnerable wildlife.

I'm sure you agree: in the wake of BP's 
Deepwater Horizon catastrophe last year -- 
and Shell's own pipeline spill in the North 
Sea just last week -- we simply cannot let 
this oil giant roll the dice with a pristine 
Arctic environment, where cleaning up a 
spill would be all but impossible.

NRDC is now mobilizing to challenge Shell's 
plan on every front, including in federal court 
if necessary. I will be in touch with you again
soon, as we galvanize our army of activists to 
lodge a furious protest with the Obama 
Administration.

In the meantime, you can be sure that 
NRDC will not back down from the next 
round of this fight with Shell. I know we 
will have your strong support.

Sincerely,
Frances
Frances Beinecke
President
Natural Resources Defense Council
