Take Action for Polar Bears and Lower Gas Prices



Oil speculators are driving up the price of gas and fueling calls for destructive drilling in wildlife habitat that polar bears and other animals need to survive.

Weak oversight and accountability in the oil markets allows wealthy investors from around the world to drive up the price we pay for gas, fueling calls for destructive drilling off our coasts and in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

Before the end of July, Congress is expected to consider bipartisan legislation to curb harmful speculative investment in the oil markets and provide needed relief to Americans hit by high gas prices.

Please fill out the form below to urge your Senators and Representative to pass legislation to address high gas prices and protect our polar bears and other wildlife from the oil speculators and Big Oil’s disastrous drilling plans.

Personalized messages are most effective. Please be sure to include:

* Why protecting America's coasts and wild places is important to you.
* Any personal education, experience or expertise that informs your opinion on protecting wildlife from harmful drilling
