      - Oil is big business in Alaska
      - Trans-Alaska pipeline
      - Oil leaks are occasional
      - Pollution from toxic waste
      - Burned into gas -> greenhouse effect
    - - It could destroy the Tundra
      - Ice is melting
        
        If whole Antarctic melts -> 70m rise in sea level globally
    - - Littering
      - Pollution
      - Habitat disturbance
