Observer Magazine calls it the biggest ecological campaign of our generation: Greenpeace have joined forces with Jarvis Cocker to help Save The Arctic.
The campaign is now entering its sixth month. Our aim is to see the unclaimed area around the North Pole become a global sanctuary. We are not going to stand by while unscrupulous companies take advantage of this unprotected area and destroy it through oil exploration and overfishing. The Arctic needs to be dedicated to peace and science, not oil and destruction.
Jarvis Cocker, lead singer of the widely acclaimed British band, Pulp, has been to the Arctic and has witnessed its beauty first-hand.
"Not that I'm a massive expert, but when I heard that they wanted to dig it up, I thought: hold on a minute – that's not good."

Pulp will play a Christmas homecoming show on the December 8th at the Motorpoint arena in Sheffield. We'll be there with Paula the polar bear asking Pulp fans to become arctic defenders by joining our ever-growing Arctic scroll. Once we reach our target of 5 million names we will present the scroll to the world leaders. The Arctic needs to be made into a global sanctuary and the area protected before it’s too late.
We hope to see you there in Sheffield so you can help us help save the Arctic.
