Stop the Next Exxon Valdez Disaster
The oil tanker Exxon Valdez ran aground 37 years ago, triggering one of the worst environmental disasters in history. The toll on wildlife was staggering, with oil killing an estimated 250,000 seabirds, 2,800 sea otters, 300 harbor seals, 250 bald eagles, 22 orcas and billions of salmon and herring eggs.
Because of our overdependence on dirty fossil fuels, catastrophic oil spills like Exxon Valdez could continue to plague the planet for generations to come unless we take bold action.
Fortunately, we have the power to stop this cycle and prevent the next Exxon Valdez disaster; it starts with moving away from harmful oil and gas production and toward a clean-energy future. Act now to prevent the next Exxon Valdez spill.
