Crisis in the Arctic

      Perhaps some of you readers have heard about this, but let me signal this to those who ignore the drastic situation. Right now, Shell (the oil company) is headed towards the far northern coast of Alaska to do some deep-sea drilling in important habitat for migrating birds. Drilling in the arctic is a suicide mission because oil and ice don't mix well, at all. So the oil company is pretty much asking for an oil spill, and deliberately destroying one the world's most important ecosystems. Without the arctic, birds that you see everyday in your yard, won't have any breeding grounds. Please help Audubon fight against this horrible and ridiculous drilling.
