Shell’s
monstrous Arctic plan
Greenpeace
A
young polar bear mother who gave birth to her first cubs just a few
months ago is now facing a heartbreaking reality: the melting ice
means she could see her cubs die of starvation or exhaustion before
they’re grown.
This is a tragedy, but companies like Shell
see an opportunity: to recklessly drill for oil further north, deep
in this pristine and fragile environment, where the consequences of a
spill would be devastating. Like drilling in the very deep seas of
Aotearoa, the Arctic is a step too far.
You and 3 million
others around the world have already joined our movement to Save the
Arctic. Earlier this year, Shell was forced to quit in the US Arctic
after a series of dangerous and humiliating failures. But now Shell
has a Plan B to enter the Arctic through Russia, so we urgently need
you to help spread the word before the drilling starts.

this video to expose Shell’s ruthless new plan, and ask your
friends to sign the petition to save the Arctic from oil destruction:

Increasingly
desperate to plunder the Arctic in any way possible, Shell has
partnered with the notorious Russian oil and gas giant Gazprom to
access the Arctic through Russia, where laws are lax and corruption
is rife.
Shell’s new bedfellow Gazprom is infamous for a
catastrophic accident in 2011 when its oil rig sank in stormy weather
and 53 people died. This
new partnership is an oil spill in the making, and the environmental
catastrophe zone of northern Russia is a preview of the Arctic’s
future if we don’t act.
We know that spreading this video will harm Shell’s
carefully-tended reputation. The last thing the company wants is to
appear as a risky investment to its shareholders and partners, so
broadcasting this dangerous new deal to the world could help keep
Shell out of the Russian Arctic.
