A polar bear strolling the streets of a city centre....its only refuge following the devastating effects of Arctic drilling.

Rachel McAdams plays the voice of the polar bear in this awe-inspiring video depicting what that would look like.

The video is being released today because July 1 marks the opening of Shell’s window to drill in the fragile waters of the Arctic Ocean off Alaska.
