Please, we need your help. The willow project is a project being viewed by the President in this moment, the plan is to sell ALASKA and its land, homes, and WILDLIFE for oil drilling. The project will produce up to 180,000 barrels of oil a day, according to the company — about 1.5% of total U.S. oil production. But in Alaska, Willow represents the biggest oil field in decades. What’s the problem with that? Project opponents point to its potential impact on global climate change. Environmental impact documents conclude that if the oil produced by Willow is burned, it would create 260 million metric tons of carbon dioxide. Exposure to CO2 can produce a variety of health effects. These may include headaches, dizziness, restlessness, a tingling or pins or needles feeling, difficulty breathing, sweating, tiredness, increased heart rate, elevated blood pressure, coma, asphyxia, various cancers, and convulsions. Once the plan is approved, climate change will be irreversible and unfixable no matter the effort. But the only way we can stop this is if 189 more environmentalists and citizens like you sign our petition before it's too late. We only have one month left before it’s approved, without your help- the human race will suffer more than it ever has. Don’t let old white men in the government decide the fate of generations, and centuries of human history and cellular evolution. I’m asking you not as a fellow american citizen, but as a human being- take a few minutes to end the end from consuming life as we know it.

Plz reblog so we can get as many signatures as possible!!

STOP THE WILLOW PROJECT

The US Department of the Interior has approved the Willow Project, a disputed hydrocarbon drilling license advanced by ConocoPhillip on Alaska's North Slope. Under the plan approved by the Biden administration, ConocoPhillips will be allowed to develop three wells (it had requested 5), in one of the largest oil and gas projects on federal public lands and could emit about 287 million tons of pollution emissions over the next 30 years, equivalent to reactivating one-third of all coal-fired plants in the United States. The decision comes after that, the day before. the Biden administration had announced new protections for Arctic lands and waters, banning oil and gas drilling on millions of acres of the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska and the Arctic Sea. Environmental groups, indigenous communities and several Democratic parliamentarians had opposed the controversial Willow project, a "carbon bomb" that would block US efforts to get out of fossil fuels for decades. Ben Jealous, executive director of the Sierra Club, the largest US environmental association (very close to the Democrats) harshly criticized the decision: «We cannot drill our way towards a sustainable future. We must conserve public lands, not sell them off to polluting corporations. The damaging effects of President Biden's decision cannot be underestimated. By allowing ConocoPhillips to do this, he and his administration have made it nearly impossible to achieve the climate goals they set for public lands. Willow will be one of the largest oil and gas operations on federal public lands in the country, and the carbon pollution it will release into the air will have devastating effects on our communities, wildlife and climate. We will suffer the consequences for decades to come. As we celebrate the administration's unprecedented protections for Alaska's land and waters, the decision to approve Project Willow could very well wipe out many of these climate and ecological benefits. And as you approve one of the largest oil and gas projects on federal public lands, one must ask the question of what the Biden administration has in store for the Arctic Refuge. For People vs. Fossil Fuels, “The Willow Oil Project locks us into decades of fossil fuel pollution at a time when we desperately need to shut down all new fossil fuel projects and quickly begin phasing out existing production. The approval is a denial of climate science and directly contradicts the administration's commitment to protect Alaskan wilderness from resource extraction and Biden's stated climate goals. The coalition of which Greenpeace USA is also part highlights that «Global scientists have been absolutely clear: we must end the expansion of fossil fuels if we are to avoid irreversible climate devastation and immediate damage to frontline communities. The approval of a massive new oil drilling project estimated to release 280 million tons of greenhouse gases when we are already in a climate emergency is shaping our future. Biden's presidential powers allow him to reject all new fossil fuel projects and declare a climate emergency that would ensure the survival of our communities and our planet. Instead, it is choosing to fatten the wallets of oil CEOs by expanding the fossil fuel infrastructure that will push us further into climate chaos. The fight for #StopWillow and all new fossil fuel projects is not over. Our movement to fight fossils continues to grow and we will continue to fight for a livable future aligned with science and justice."
