When I was younger, I used to visit the beach with my grandparents. We would collect shells and try to spot various sea animals breaking through the water. Unfortunately, many of these wonderful sea creatures are struggling in their newfound circumstances along the coasts.

As mentioned in a Greenwire article, seismic air guns that oil and gas industry ships shot off into the ocean are disturbing the mating of whales and causing sea turtles and fish to flee. It’s sad to think that we could lose our ability to see some of these magnificent sea beings. 

That’s why we need to support our fellow Earth inhabitants and take a stand against offshore oil drilling. If enough of us speak up, we can protect North Carolina and our wildlife population. That’s why I urge you to call Gov. Pat McCrory and let him know that you oppose offshore oil drilling in North Carolina.
