More threats of oil drilling!?

You may have become tired hearing about all of the dangerous oil drilling projects that are taking place and planned for the future, but that only means it's time to step up the fight against it. This time, Ecuador needs our help.

Ecuador's Yasuni National Park is in grave danger of future drilling by an array of oil companies. A few years back, the Ecuadorian government promised to keep a large chunk of the forest from drilling prospects if the international community agreed to help fund Ecuador in exchange for a drilling ban.

But Ecuador shouldn't extort the rest of the world in exchange for a ban they should be observing anyway. It's not our job to pay Ecuador to keep their own land healthy and clean.

Write to the Ecuadorian government asking that they start acting in favor of their own environmental preservation.
