What do you think of the effort by environmental groups to get people to show their support for protecting the <a href="http://arcticribbon.org">Arctic National Wildlife Refuge</a> from drilling by wearing or otherwise displaying a green ribbon?
See below text from the Wilderness Society:
America's Arctic Refuge is in danger. Last week, oil interests came one step closer to ruining the wild coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge with sprawling oil development.
In a backdoor scheme cooked up by drilling proponents, the U.S. Senate has included language in the Federal Budget that could remove protections prohibiting oil development in the biological heart of the Refuge. BUT THE FIGHT IS FAR FROM OVER!
Make a statement today. Show your solidarity for America's Arctic Refuge with a visible symbol -- a green ribbon.
Tie it in your yard, hang it on your home, pin it on your clothes or wear it around your wrist. Then pass it on. Forward this email and give ribbons to your friends and family.

Millions of Americans feel strongly about this issue -- and together we will NOT be ignored. Show your support until Congress assures us that the Arctic Refuge is safe from oil drills.
