The arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska is so important to our nation. The fact that there are some who want to drill for oil is offensive to me. The whole reason we secure this area is for our future and the future of the Flora and Fauna there. Nineteen point six million arces protected by the department of interior the millions of birds, mammals, fish, that live our migrate there give it a special place in our hearts. Joe's visit there gave it a true reality to me. If we lose places like this we know we can never replace it. And we would for sure die along with it. We should be creating more refuge's and stay out of the one's we have already saved. Future generations need to see these areas or human life will also cease to exist on this planet. If we continue to consume we will also be consumed. The loss will be devastating. I would rather pay five dollars a gallon then to harm one square mile of this refuge.
