I am a constituent from [country, unless if you are from USA then say city/state], [calling/emailing/messaging] to ask you to cease [name of corporation’s]extraction in the Arctic Refuge. The Arctic Refuge has been protected by Congress for 60 years and by Indigenous peoples for millennia before that. The climate impacts of fossil fuel extraction in the Arctic are not worth the risk--this is a sensitive ecosystem that sustains many lives, some endangered because of the climate crisis. We cannot excuse that:
Body Paragraph (pick one of these options according to the company you are targeting!)
of regulatory violations and stated boldly: "Hilcorp's conduct is inexcusable" and “The disregard for regulatory compliance is endemic to Hilcorp's approach to its Alaska operations.” In 2015, they were fined $100,000 for Clean Water Act
following a 10,000-gallon crude oil and produced water spill at Milne Point. In the last five years, Hilcorp has reported 102 oil and hazardous substance spills on the North Slope.
Chevron: Chevron is one of just a handful of oil companies with knowledge of the results of the only test well to have been drilled in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Chevron has been responsible for
“one of the top three producers of oil and the largest holder of discovered gas resources on Alaska’s North Slope.” They began producing on their Point Thomson field in 2016, which reportedly holds roughly 25 percent of known gas reserves on the North Slope. In the last five years, ExxonMobil has reported 55 oil and hazardous substance spills on the North Slope.
released by Alaska’s Legislative Research Services on May 1, 2019 showed that, "Alaska is the most profitable region for the company by a wide margin." In the last five years, ConocoPhillips has reported 444 oil and hazardous substance spills on the North Slope.
Liberty Mutual: Liberty Mutual is by far the largest Insurer of Oil and Gas projects. While many banks have committed to not funding Arctic Oil and Gas, very few insurers have done so. We cannot accept your dirty business practices.
Closing Paragraph
We cannot afford to invest in dangerous extraction projects any longer. Please listen to the Indigenous land protectors who are leading the movement to protect the Arctic Refuge, and stop oil extraction on the coastal plain now.
Thank you,
