Thank you Julia for sending this around last week. Re-upping for folks – I know you all just received a note from me about tomorrow’s Arctic Refuge hearing, but I also wanted flag again that yesterday was the official anniversary of the Exxon Valdez spill and if we can continue to amplify today that would be great!

 

Thank you!

Sending this to all Arctic lists, in case you can help amplify!

 

This Sunday marks the 30th anniversary of the Exxon Valdez oil spill, and we’ve created a social toolkit to mark it. There are sample posts, images, and I included some great GIFs produced last year by NRDC but still very much usable this year. If you can have your digital teams post over the weekend and into next week, that would be great!

 

You’ll find the toolkit here: http://bit.ly/evos30

30 years ago, we experienced a catastrophic environmental disaster. We #RememberExxonValdez, because offshore drilling will endanger iconic wildlife and coastal communities. Tell Congress: no offshore drilling off America’s Arctic and Atlantic coasts. #ProtectOurCoast

 

30 years ago, we experienced a catastrophic environmental disaster. We #RememberExxonValdez, which proved cleaning up a spill in environment like the Arctic is close to impossible. Tell Congress: no offshore drilling off America’s Arctic and Atlantic coasts. #ProtectOurCoast

 

Catastrophic oil spills like the Exxon Valdez leave wildlife and coastal economies reeling. Yet the Trump administration wants to open our entire Arctic and Atlantic coastlines to offshore drilling. #RememberExxonValdez #ProtectOurCoast

 

Americans oppose expanding offshore drilling! The 11 million gallons of oil spilled by the #ExxonValdez is a reminder that there’s no acceptable level of exposing coastal communities to the irreversible risks of an oil spill. #RememberExxonValdez #ProtectOurCoast

 

Drilling anywhere harms communities everywhere. The 30th anniversary of the #ExxonValdez disaster is a reminder that Trump's drill-everywhere plan will cause irreparable harm to our coasts, communities and climate. #RememberExxonValdez #ProtectOurCoast

 

In the past fifty years, more than 44 oil spills have spilled at least 10,000 barrels each into US waters, including the 11 million-barrel #ExxonValdez oil spill disaster. We can't afford another Exxon Valdez off America's coast. #RememberExxonValdez #ProtectOurCoast

 

As the Trump administration continues to pursue Arctic and Atlantic drilling, have we learned anything from past disasters? We can't afford another #ExxonValdez disaster off our coastlines. We #RememberExxonValdez. We must #ProtectOurCoast.

Post 1

30 years ago, the Exxon Valdez oil spill created one of the most devastating environmental disasters in U.S. history. As the Trump administration works to potentially open every American coastline to oil and gas leasing, decisionmakers must be reminded just how risky fossil fuel production can be. As we have seen with the Exxon Valdez oil spill and later with Deepwater Horizon, there is no such thing as an effective clean up. Spilled oil means the battle has already been lost.

 

Post 2

30 years ago, an oil tanker called the Exxon Valdez struck a reef in Alaska’s Prince William Sound and 11 million gallons of crude oil into pristine Alaska waters. Today, oil still lurks under the surface of Prince William Sound’s beaches, impacting wildlife and human lives. Opening America’s Arctic and Atlantic coastlines to the risks of offshore drilling would threaten coastal economies along the eastern seaboard, as well as Alaska Native coastal communities and the wildlife they depend on.
