HELP!

The Sierra Club recently sent me an email that goes a lil sometin like this:

Two weeks ago I wrote to tell you about a truly alarming situation - a delay in the decision to include the polar bear on the Endangered Species list - and asked you to take action.

Over 52,000 people signed our petition on behalf of the polar bear and sent a powerful message to the Bush Administration: We will not sit back and wait until the ice sheets melt and the last polar bear drowns before we address the devastating impact of global warming.

I wish I could tell you that our work is done, but the polar bear is still not listed and next week the Bush Administration will begin selling off oil exploration leases in Alaska’s Beaumont and Chukchi Seas - prime polar bear habitat, where an estimated one-tenth of the world’s polar bears live.

The polar bear has never needed that protection more than it does today. At a time when Arctic sea ice is melting at an alarming rate - so much faster than scientists predicted - the Interior Department should make safeguarding America’s polar bears a top priority. We need to make sure the polar bear is listed, and keep the pressure on the Administration and Congress to protect critical habitat from destructive oil drilling by putting America on the path to a clean energy future.
