Two oil spills in two weeks is bad — even for a company like Shell.

REALLY SHELL?!?!

Where were you March 11, 2011? In Japan, an earthquake and tsunami rocked the country, causing the tragic Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. It’s time for change. No to nuclear! Yes to renewable energy!

BREAKING: Iceland cancels fin whale hunt this summer! Thanks to all of you who have taken action to make this happen. Let's hope the hunt is canceled forever

Do you love dolphins and whales? So do we! 

What don't we like? But deafening seismic booms used to search for oil and gas deafen and kill dolphins and whales. And that's not cool.

Take action today.

Time is running out to protect Alaska's Tongass National Forest, home to incredible animals like the Alexander Archipelago wolf. The U.S. Forest Service is preparing to make a decision, but first they need to understand just how much these landscapes mean to all of us. Tag a friend to spread the word and stand up for forests!

The search for new oil is deadly.

If oil companies are allowed to drill in the Atlantic the deafening seismic blasts — used to search the ocean floor for oil and gas deposits — will injure or kill about 138,500 whales and other marine mammals.

This is not the future we want! Send a message to President Obama now to stop all new offshore oil & gas leases.
