The Artic is a pure place. Its beauty is completely natural and its land holds many inhabitants. We must protect it for them and for our future generations to enjoy.

Although the Arctic is far from where we live the devastating results of commercial fishing, climate change, and oil drilling will effect us (the world) like a chain reaction. The Arctic is home to so much wildlife and natives that we need on earth. The monetary benefits of commercial fishing, oil drilling, etc. are not worth the life long devastating impact it can have in the arctic. We should be doing what is possible to preserve the Arctic and it's wildlife.

The Artic is at great risk.

The environment is dwindling as it is. This is all we have left: our planet. Humans cannot afford to succumb to greed and ignorance at this time.

The Arctic is an amazing place, home to whales, polar bears, and other amazing creatures. We need to act now to protect it for future generations.

The Arctic is a truly special place, but it is under threat from rising temperatures, oil drilling, and industrial fishing. One person can make a difference and I believe we can stop our dependence on oil and products made with oil. For too long, we have been blinded by Big companies, who have tons of money telling us it's all okay when it's not okay. Buy more, use more be like others, but it's time we take back who we are and consume less. Live smaller, enjoy life more. Be more conscience with what we buy and why. Use more recycled products, reuse item you would recycle. Think of things you can make from it. What ever it is, try to stop buying so much and be content with what you have. We need to save our planet for our children's grandchildren and so on. Be more responsible with our resources and lets make big oil companies accountable for their actions. Do not let Shell or any other Oil Corporation, go in to the Arctic and drill for oil. Lets stand together to stop them and thanks for signing my petition! ArcticDeclaration.org

Like so many places around the world that were once remote and pristine, the Arctic is now threatened by overwhelming pressure from human incursion, development and desecration. The Arctic is an amazing place, home to whales, polar bears, and other beautiful creatures. We need to act now to protect it from destruction by corporate interests seeking to enhance profits through natural resource development and expanding market access.

The Arctic is one of the very last frontiers left and we need to protect whats left of the Arctic and its animals.

The Arctic is an amazing place, home to whales, polar bears, and other amazing creatures. We need to act now to protect it for future generations.

Communities all across Illinois are already feeling the impacts of climate change. President Obama's Clean Power Plan is an important step forward on climate, but we need to make sure that this plan is implemented in our state in a way that puts people before polluters. We're urging Gov. Quinn to prioritize renewable energy and energy efficiency over fossil fuels and nuclear energy as he implements the Clean Power Plan in Illinois.

Big Oil has big plans to mine Tar Sands in North Alabama. These plans threaten our land and our people. Strip mining and fracking wells will be used to remove the Tar Sands from thousands of acres. How do we benefit? For a few temporary jobs that will last for about five years, Governor Robert Bentley will destroy our forests, contaminate our air, and poison the water we drink. It is a dumb idea and one based on an obsolete fossil fuel technology. The Alabama Oil and Gas Board is writing a new regulation for this dangerous activity, and claims they want to mine the Tar Sands in a safe manner. Tar Sands Mining is inherently dangerous and cannot be done safely, and so far Alabama has not proved capable of writing a regulation that does not favor industry. This state has long been known as pollution friendly and the state EPA, known as ADEM, would not say "boo" to big industry. They can't even police the damage already done by the developer. The Alabama Oil and Gas Board regulation, once written, must state clearly that, "TAR SANDS MINING IS NOT PERMITTED IN THE STATE OF ALABAMA!" Thirty pieces of silver in a politician's pocket is not worth the risk.
