This Docket is in support of allowing offshore drilling on both the East and West seaboards by 2024. It is coming from the Trump administration. As the Environmental Justice Club, we feel it is our responsibility to respond to the appearance of this Docket. It has been shown that oil drilling in the ocean causes oil spills, which decimate the wildlife and the surrounding ecosystem(s). To allow oil companies to drill off of all of the coasts will drastically increase chances of oil spills. Also, the bill will kill local tourism revenue, by turning coastal towns into a dead zone. As a club, we are strongly against the approval of this docket. Also being residents in a coastal town makes us feel even more against this Docket because we swim in the ocean frequently and therefore refuse to allow our beautiful ocean to be polluted and destroyed.
April, 26 Today we got the results of our recent entry in the Santa Cruz earth day poster contest of 36 contestants we placed 5th. We are also creating a second poster for our schools' local Summit For Planet event. We are using the event to raise awareness for our group and cause. This week we also started an Instagram where we will post pictures and status updates.
