Just received this email from Green Peace after joining their cause to help save the Arctic.
Just do yourself a favour and sign up.

Dear friends,
I've just signed up to save the Arctic, home of the polar bear, at www.savethearctic.org
I need you to join me too.
Right now there's a dangerous shadow looming over the pristine Arctic. As you read this email, oil companies and politicians are plotting to carve up the icy North, extending their national territories and searching for drill sites.
The Arctic ice is melting, uncovering oil reserves laid bare because of climate change. This year, the first major oil company - Shell - plans to ignite the Arctic oil rush by drilling in those waters. All to feed humanity’s endless addiction to oil.
The irony of this is sickening.
The very companies causing climate change and the melting of the Arctic ice are set to profit from it, even as they destroy precious habitats and endanger wildlife in the process. It’s a vicious circle.
And it's not just oil drillers. Industrial fishing fleets are moving into the melting waters threatening the local communities who have fished there sustainably for thousands of years.
But you can stop it.
Join the campaign for an Arctic sanctuary and a ban on oil drilling and industrial fishing in Arctic waters. Sign now. Together we can protect the Arctic, home of the polar bear.
