Opening the coastal plain of the Refuge to oil and gas development threatens wildlife like caribou and polar bears, jeopardizes the food security and traditional lifestyles of Indigenous Americans, and puts us on a crash course with unnecessary and irreparable climate consequences. • #ProtectTheArctic #arcticrefuge #publiclands #wildamerica #naturelovers #climateaction #standwiththegwichin #inupiaqgwichinsolidarity #wildlifeprotection #indigenouslivesmatter #keepitintheground Jajõm @angrymexicanactivist for this graphic!” (at Okanagan Landing) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJeZl6gpgSA/?igshid=1hce1r820qm62

As a final post for my #polarbearpostcardproject -- After spending 14 months mailing 310 pieces of original art to the President @whitehouse it was SUPER hard to pick favorites, but these look nice together :) I'm searching for the next iteration of this artistic #advocacy In due time I'll begin using this #instagram account for other items of #kidlitart etc. but a permanent home for the Post Card Project will be established soon at www.erikbrooks.com Cheers to all who've enjoyed the #polarbears and thanks so much for the support! #happynewyear And keep ON IT for ways to hold our new administration to task! #climatechangeisreal the #arcticrefuge needs greater protection #wearethearctic #keepitintheground #climateaction #saveourseaice #monumentsforall

#polarbearpostcardproject No. 305 ... oh, and embarrassing or not as it may be to have a spelling error in your casual but dedicated communications to the President of the United States (see PPBpc No. 304 - and I'm sure that it's not the first time!) I'll leave you for the week with "SEND IT NO. 2 - Nordic style!" Dig in. Go big! And for the Obama family en route to #Hawaii - Mele Kalikimaka. #saveourseaice #wearethearctic #advocate for #climateaction #merrychristmas #letitsnow #melekalikimaka #nordicskiing #crosscountryskiing #polarbear #sunset #classicskiing #nordic #arcticrefuge

#polarbearpostcardproject No. 300!!! That's 300 hand-painted #postcards sent to #presidentobama @whitehouse since Oct. 2015 -- in an effort to #advocate for #climateaction and to gently remind him of the greater protections needed for the #arcticrefuge and Alaska's #coastalplain No response... but there is obviously always a lot on his plate and even more vying for his attention. With any luck he has at least seen an image or two or will some day see them all at once. Just a few more weeks to go... and I'm proud of the effort but trying hard to figure out the next course of action. Today's card comes from last weekend's trip to visit some old @carletoncollege friends in #sandiego A little running, a little spectating (watching the #footlockernationals XC race at Balboa Park), and some fine catching up all around. Glad to have this bunch in my life -- and hopeful to see what we all can accomplish in the next 20 years. We're younger still than we sometimes feel, Fellahs -- GRRR! #wearethearctic #saveourseaice #polarbears

#polarbearpostcardproject No. 298 My daughter loves winter, and I used to nicely tease her about becoming a polar bear scientist so that she could save the species. Sadly, I wish that someone had been telling ME that when I was a kid, because the timing might have been a little more right... anyway, education is key no matter how you slice it. Science. Math. Music. Art. Work for it. Study. Connect the dots... #wearethearctic #advocate for #climateaction #saveourseaice #polarbears #illustratorsoninstagram #educate #science #climatechangeisreal #arcticrefuge #kidlitart
