Petition: Tell ExxonMobil To Protect Polar Bears, Not Profits
My comment added to the Petition: It took a wide diversity of different beings to bring life to this planet, and as that variety begins to be killed by corporations such as ExxonMobil, so too will this planet.

Tell ExxonMobil: Protect Polar Bears, Not Profits!
Target: Rex Tillerson, CEO, ExxonMobil
Sponsor: Defenders of Wildlife
Signatures: 58,080
Goal: 75,000
Deadline: Ongoing...
ExxonMobil is swimming in cash...while polar bears are drowning in the Arctic.
ExxonMobil raked in over $35 billion in profits in 2005, and another $8.4 billion in the first quarter of 2006. But where are Exxon's priorities?
ExxonMobil has given its former CEO Lee Raymond a retirement package worth almost $400 million. Yet, it still refuses to pay punitive damages for the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill that killed birds, fish, sea otters and other wildlife--some of which have yet to recover.
ExxonMobil is the sole major oil company to remain in Arctic Power, the lobbying group whose only purpose is to open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to toxic oil drilling. The Arctic Refuge is home to caribou, millions of migratory birds, and other wildlife. It is also one of the most important onshore denning habitats for America's remaining polar bears.
In the past five years, ExxonMobil has spent nearly $37 million on lobbyists and millions more in campaign contributions to relentlessly push its anti-wildlife agenda and fight efforts to curb global warming--the same warming that's melting sea ice and leaving walrus calves and polar bears to starve and drown.
Tell ExxonMobil's CEO to stop pushing for oil drilling in the Arctic Refuge; to withdraw its support of the pro-drilling Arctic Power lobbying firm; and to start investing in renewable energy for the future. Let ExxonMobil know that until they mend their anti-wildlife ways, you will be boycotting their gasoline!
