TAKE ACTION!
ExxonMobil announces the largest corporate profit in history --more than $36 billion. What they won’t say is when they’ll stop using those massive profits to support policies that threaten our polar bears, sea otters, and the great wild places you and I care about.
Now ExxonMobil has a new CEO, Rex W. Tillerson. Defenders of Wildlife, a proud member of the ExxposeExxon Coalition, is asking for your help again to get ExxonMobil and its new CEO to turn over a new leaf.
Here’s what you can do to lend a hand…
Step 1. Watch Our Hilarious New Cartoon.
Our sidesplitting new sixty-second animation may get your toe tapping, and it will certainly make you think (Don't forget to turn on your speakers!).
Step 2. Tell ExxonMobil to Clean Up Its Act.
Tell new ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson that you won't buy his company's gas unless (or until) he steers the company in a different direction. ExxonMobil needs to stop bankrolling lobbying efforts to drill in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and along our coasts, paying for junk science to debunk global warming, and stonewalling on paying for damage caused by the Exxon Valdez oil spill. It's high time the company cleaned up its act and started making a more significant investment in the development of cleaner energy sources.
Step 3. Tell Your Friends.
Word of mouth will be crucial to our ability to influence ExxonMobil's new head honcho, Rex Tillerson. If we hope to catch Rex's attention, we are going to need a lot of people to watch this little movie and send him a message.
If you think it’s time for ExxonMobil to change its ways, you’re not alone. Since January 5th, almost 20,000 of you have pledged not to buy gas from the company until ExxonMobil cleans up its act.
Why are we so concerned about ExxonMobil? In the past five years, ExxonMobil has spent nearly $37 million on lobbyists and millions more in campaign contributions to its pet politicians to relentlessly push its agenda on Capitol Hill.
That agenda would not only harm wildlife, but also open our nation’s pristine coastlines to destructive oil drilling. It would prevent effective strategies to reduce global warming and undermine real energy solutions. And it would sacrifice some of America’s greatest natural treasures for the sake of short-term profits.
Please take just a couple of moments to watch the video, take action, and help spread the word. With your help, we can convince ExxonMobil to change its policies for the better.
Sincerely,
Rodger Schlickeisen
President
