Your Signature is Needed: Wastewater DUMPED into the Arctic

A starving polar bear limps along an Arctic ice shelf. Her habitat is RAPIDLY MELTING, collapsing into the sea and DESTROYING her hunting grounds. Continuing down this path will inevitably lead to EXTINCTION! [Add your signature now!]( Only about 900 Southern Beaufort polar bears remain, Friend. The Arctic is warming TWICE as fast as the rest of the world, putting these majestic creatures in peril. Meanwhile, cruise corporations like Carnival Corp. charge massive ships through our oceans, including the Arctic, pumping out emissions that melt this sensitive habitat. In just one year, Carnival dragged 11,000 tons of TOXIC HEAVY FUEL through essential arctic habitats! The EPA could set stronger regulations for corporate cruise companies and their dirty ships and PROTECT the Arctic -- but we need YOUR help to convince it to act. [If just 1 of every 5 people reading this email takes action, we can hit our goal to tell the EPA to fight Arctic cruise pollution.

The facts are clear, Friend. Cruise corporations are contributing to Arctic destruction, hurting its people, and driving its wildlife toward extinction. They’re not going to hold themselves accountable -- that’s why we need the EPA to act.
