Hello,
I am a mother of a 5 month old daughter. What keeps me up at night is the thought that what we have done, or failed to do in caring for our environment will negatively affect her future. Will there be sea life? Will there be wild life? How will climate change affect our world? How will this affect us globally in the years to come. Drilling off the shores of Alaska may provide a temporary band aid, but will not be a long term fix, and may come at a cost of increasing the amount of damage on our precious environment.
