The company claims that the decision was made after ‘disappointing’ results, showing not enough oil in the area to continue with plans.

Whatever the reason, we’re stoked that further drilling in the area has been avoided!

By drilling for offshore oil in the Arctic, greenhouse gases would have harmed the Arctic’s wildlife and caused larger global consequences.

It’s exactly the kind of dirty fossil fuel project that can’t happen if we want to stop the worst effects of climate change.

 For now, plans have been stopped and the Arctic and its inhabitants are safe!

Over the last few months many big names such as Charlotte Church and Emma Thompson have been making a stand against the drilling and protesting against Shell’s plans.

Whatever the reason for the company’s change of heart, let’s celebrate the news that plans have been stopped and the Arctic and its inhabitants are safe!
