Help Prevent Another Exxon Valdez Spill
Target: Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar
Sponsored by: Sierra Club
March 24 marked the 20th anniversary of one of the worst environmental disasters in history, the Exxon Valdez oil spill.
The memory of the spill persists for the fishermen and Alaska natives whose livelihoods were destroyed by Exxon's recklessness. The anniversary of the Exxon Valdez oil spill should serve as a reminder of the threat oil poses to our oceans and coasts. Instead of opening the door to more Exxon-style disasters, we should be embracing the clean energy solutions that will keep our beaches and marine life intact and will help combat global warming.
Urge Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar to oppose new offshore oil and gas drilling in areas that were protected by the long-standing Congressional drilling moratorium.
