| Greetings Jeroen,
This summer, 60,000 of you wrote postcards protesting Shell’s plans to destroy the Sacred Headwaters. In September, I hand-delivered your messages to Shell Canada’s president, Lorraine Mitchelmore. During that time, Shell raked in a staggering $7 billion in profits. That’s over $3 million per hour.
Yet Shell still refuses to back down from its plans to scar one of the most stunning landscapes in British Columbia with thousands of kilometres of roads and wells.
We have one year to stop this: The British Columbian government has the power to kick Shell out for good.Send a message to Premier Christy Clark and tell her to get the Shell out of the Sacred Headwaters -- permanently.
In 2008, thanks to pressure from folks like you, B.C. placed a moratorium on Shell’s dangerous plans to turn the Headwaters into an industrial checkerboard of wells and roads. This moratorium will expire on December 5th, 2012.
We need Premier Christy Clark to make the ban permanent. Can you send a message today?
Right now the Sacred Headwaters -- the source of three of Canada’s most important salmon rivers -- provides critical habitat for countless grizzlies, caribou, moose, and wild salmon. Coalbed methane development in the Sacred Headwaters threatens the wild salmon ecosystems upon which local jobs, cultures, and traditions have been built.
Premier Clark needs to hear from people all across Canada so she understands that Shell's plans threaten "Beautiful British Columbia's" reputation.
Send a message to the Premier. Tell her to make sure the Headwaters stay sacred, not scarred.
Thank you for your help!
