Mission:
On May 20th, Royal Dutch Shell will be hosting their Annual General Meeting in The Hague, Netherlands. Sierra Club and its coalition partners will be their to tell Shell Oil to say out of special places like Alaska's Polar Bear Seas.

Recently, Royal Dutch Shell broke records with their bidding on a lease sale in the Chukchi Sea, with bids exceeding $100 million for rights to drill a single 3-mile by 3-mile stretch of the sea. This lease sale auctioned off 30 million acres of prime polar bear habitat, off the coast of northwest Alaska, for destructive oil and gas drilling. More dirty oil will only exacerbate the problem of global warming and accelerate the Arctic melt. Shell should be investing its $100 million in clean energy that will last and create new jobs, not on squeezing the last bit of dirty oil out of our most fragile ecosystem

Please take action and tell the Board of Directors of Shell Oil that the Polar Bears Seas are to important to drill.

Props on the phrase "chill the drills" for being catchy. Slops on polar bears for being super scary. You guys should find another photogenic animal for your picture.
