Big Cruise is pushing orcas to the brink of EXTINCTION

We'll be blunt: Big Oil and Big Cruise are pushing ocean ecosystems to the point of collapse. That's why Friends of the Earth is helping lead the fight to protect vulnerable marine animals and the fragile ocean ecosystems that sustain them. But we're falling dangerously short of the resources we need to fuel this fight just as we're about to begin a new fiscal year on July 1. Please: Will you give $27 or more now – before our midnight deadline – to help us hit our urgent $87,000 End of Fiscal Year matching gift goal? All gifts received before midnight will be matched, up to $87,000! MATCH MY GIFT Orcas like Tahlequah can't afford another moment of inaction. She's already lost her precious calf and two other beloved relatives due to starvation caused by overfishing, toxic pollution and devastating interference from the shipping industry. Now there are only 75 orcas left in the Southern Resident pods, and unless things change – and quickly – they may be completely wiped out. Meanwhile, Big Cruise has opted for greenwashing instead of real environmental solutions. By using so-called "air-scrubbers," Big Cruise converts its air pollution into acidic water pollution and recklessly dumps it into our oceans. Altogether, this industry's pollution is destroying marine habitats – running its noisy, polluting ships through orca critical habitat and damaging the very ecosystem they depend on for survival. That means desperately struggling species like the endangered Southern Resident orcas are dumped on, starving and losing the race for survival. We MUST protect the last remaining orcas and the ecosystems they rely on from the dangers of Big Cruise AND Big Oil. But with time running out before our matching gift challenge expires, we're falling short of the resources we need to fuel our fight. Please, friend, will you make a membership gift of $27 or more now to help us hit our $87,000 End of Fiscal Year goal and protect orcas, our oceans and our only Earth? All gifts received before midnight will be matched, up to $87,000.
