Jude Law and Radiohead Team Up in Campaign to Save the Arctic

Earth - General

Polar bear Greenpeace ad slumped on treeIn an effort to stop big oil corporations from pushing into the Arctic and taking advantage of melting sea ice, celebrities are joining a Greenpeace campaign to #SaveTheArctic.

Jude Law narrates a new heart-wrenching video featuring a polar bear wandering through a city, finally slumping next to a tree. The music is the lilting sounds of Britain's Radiohead singer Thom York.

As the arctic melts, the rush to exploit its resources is starting. Nobody will listen to her, but they’ll listen to you. Join the movement. Save the Arctic.

The celebrities are helping spread the message this season as Shell Oil begins exploratory drilling off the coast of Alaska.

“I stand with hundreds of thousands of others who think the area should be made into a sanctuary,” Jude Law told Greenpeace.

"An oil spill in the Arctic would devastate this region of breathtaking beauty, while burning that oil will only add to the biggest problem we all face, climate change," said York. "That’s why I’m backing this campaign.”

Testimonials

My daily habit a year ago was to read the news with my morning coffee. I felt the entire world was falling apart and getting worse day by day. Then I read some research on the effects of bad news, and made a conscious choice to read uplifting stories... Now I’m excited about all the wonderful things around the world, instead of feeling helpless. When I read the stories on GNN I feel empowered, included, and encouraged to get involved. - Kerrie S., OK
