I was chatting with an old friend this morning and we laughed when we talked about me always having had a little bit of hippy in me. We were laughing about how all I ever aspired to do when I was a teenager and young adult, was to join Greenpeace.
I guess growing up in the days of post-Vietnam, free-love and watching shows like Wild, Wild World of Animals (you gotta love William Conrad!), might've had something to do with it. But, it's true, I've always wanted to take some part in creating a social revolution.
Although I'm not sailing away on some Greenpeace ship, cutting dolphins free from nets or throwing my body in front of a bulldozer in the rainforest, I figured I could do my small part by promoting a really important effort by this group.
Please join me in telling President Obama to make Arctic drilling 'off limits'

About the campaign:
Shell has abandoned its plans to drill for oil in the Arctic waters off the coast of Alaska in 2013.
It’s big news. But just the start of something bigger. Now it’s time for President Obama to abandon the idea of Arctic drilling completely and declare the Arctic ‘off limits’ to industrial exploitation, forever.
Shell was supposed to be the best of the best, but the long list of mishaps and near-disasters from the company’s failed attempt to drill in the Arctic last summer is a clear indication even the ‘best’ companies can’t succeed in Arctic drilling.
President Obama and his administration gave Arctic drilling a chance and Shell blew it. It’s time we kick our addiction to fossil fuels and deal with global warming decisively. That starts today and it starts with leadership from President Obama.
Take action today and join the campaign to protect the Arctic. Tell President Obama to make Arctic drilling ‘off limits’. Forever.
