Protect the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge from oil & gas development
BP, Shell, Exxon Mobil, and Phillips 66
The Arctic Refuge is in northeast Alaska and supports thousands of species. From millions of migratory birds traveling from all fifty states, more than 200,000-strong Porcupine caribou herd, to polar bears, wolves, muskoxen, arctic foxes, wolverines, brown bears, golden eagles, tundra swans and snowy owls.
Despite its international and local importance, in 2017 Congress passed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which had a provision opening up the coastal plain of the Arctic Refuge to oil and gas drilling.
Drilling would be detrimental to the ecosystem and all those, including humans, who depend on it.
That’s why The Student PIRGs is calling on BP, Shell, Exxon Mobil, Phillips 66 and all other oil and gas companies to not bid on any oil leases in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
Some places are too sacred to sacrifice for a little more oil.
By signing, you are showing your support to protect the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and calling on BP, Shell, Exxon Mobil, Phillips 66, and all other oil companies to say NO to drilling in the Arctic.

Some places are too sacred to sacrifice for a little more oil. So, I am calling on BP, Shell, Exxon Mobil, Phillips 66, and all other oil companies to not to bid on any oil leases in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
