Target: President Joe Biden
Goal: Applaud the suspension of oil and gas leasing on federal lands and oceans.
President Biden has signed several executive orders to address the climate crisis. One of which was a halt of oil and gas leasing on federal lands and oceans. Biden also has plans to review current leases and promises to prioritise mitigation of the climate and ecological crisis.
This is the first step to reducing greenhouse gas emissions to net zero and is a thrilling success for several campaigns fighting to ban onshore and offshore drilling. In this ForceChange petition, attention was brought to a gas and oil drill leasing program in a National Arctic Wildlife Refuge. With all the pressure on Biden, he has stuck to his climate promise, giving new hope to the nation and to the world.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear President Biden,
I want to applaud you for putting a halt on oil and gas leasing of federal lands and oceans. This is a major step in the right direction to meet the climate and ecological crisis head on, with swift and radical action.
It is a necessary and long overdue action that is sure to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to minimize the global temperature increase. I hope that your review of current oil and gas leases will lead to continued withdrawal from fossil fuels and guide the U.S. into a sustainable future.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
