Provides
A "Hand Up, Not A Handout."
Fort Worth, TX
-- Andyco's petrolium subsidiary ACOIL recently announced
several environmental initiatives that will more than offset
the time that drunk guy grounded our tanker onto the Alaskan
coastline. Though ACOIL still disputes that the 2 cases of
Bud had ANYTHING to do with the unfortunate oil spill, executives
at the company are confident these new efforts will leave
the environment "better than how we found it."
Helping the Caribou Help Themselves
As the saying goes, "Give an endangered White Pelican
a fish and it eats for a day, TEACH it to fish and it eats
for a lifetime." Embracing this philosophy, ACOIL has
begun a unique program that doesn't just help the endangered
Caribou herds - it helps them help themselves.
ACOIL's innovative "Caribou In
The Classroom" places Woodland Caribou in a casual, low-pressure
classroom setting where they learn strategies and relaxation
techniques for coping with our large pipelines that "disrupt"
their natural habitat.
"We feel that the Caribou must
break from this reliance on government to solve all their
problems," says program directer Bud Harris. "Caribou
In The Classroom gives them to tools they need not only now,
but in the future. So while our emphasis is on methods of
coping with pipelines in their natural habitat, we also prepare
them for future challenges -- like ways to coexist with shopping
malls and tract housing."
ACOIL Begins Pilot Voucher Program.
As habitats for migratory waterfowl
dwindle, we at ACOIL see an opportunity to make a difference.
Why should disadvantaged Canadian geese settle for substandard
wetlands? That's the thinking behind our new pilot program,
offering vouchers for geese that want a better environment for
themselves and their goslings.
"There's just not enough wetlands to serve each and every
goose that wants one," says Harris. "Our voucher program
serves as a fair and equitable way to provide geese of lesser
means that chance for a better life."
Giving Wildlife A Hand Up, Not A Handout
To truly lick this nature
thing, we need innovative programs that address the root of
the problem. Biohazardous spills and man's encroachment on
"fragile" ecosystems are the inevitable outgrowth
of our commitment to meeting your energy needs. At ACOIL,
we believe it's everyone's responsibility to prepare wildlife
for the challenges -- and opportunities -- of the 21st century.
