Arctic National Wildlife Refuge targeted for oil drilling

[Catherine]

The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge was created in the 1960s to protect an area of the arctic ecosystem from exploitation. Because this was done 19 million acres still exist in their original state. Wildlife that is threatened elsewhere has been allowed to flourish in this pristine habitat. 
Sadly it is all threatened. There is oil under the rocks and there are many who want to sacrifice the ANWR for the money the oil could bring.

No amount of money could replace what would be lost if this area is drilled. 
It is only short sighted greedy people who would consider such a move.
