THIS WEEK, the Senate votes on the Energy Bill, and the possibility of a seismic survey of the U.S. coastline. At decibel levels of 260, seismic blasts have a devastating impact on whales, dolphins and other marine mammals that rely on their sense of hearing to survive. In fact, they can lead to permanent hearing loss, brain hemorrhaging and even cause entire pods of whales and dolphins to beach.

There aren't many places in the U.S. where you can visit old-growth forests. And there will be even fewer places soon, thanks to the largest logging operation in modern history, brought to you by the U.S. Forest Service. The Forest Service has begun logging old-growth forests in the Biscuit timber sale, located in the Siskiyou National Forest in southern Oregon, even though there are challenges to the legality of the logging. Please tell the Forest Service to halt the logging immediately.
