Nadine, Apparently you do not know that <<caribou>> DO <<make direct contribution to the GDP>>. They are killed and eaten as a subsistence food by native Alaskans. They are hunted by sportsman who pay guides and outfitters, who pay taxes. They are photographed by tourists who come here from all over the world and eat our food and stay in our hotels and ooh and ahh with their dollars. They are killed and eaten by wolves, who inconveniently fail to pose for the ethereal paintings that many fine artists sell to tourists and natives alike. All this happens while caribou walk around underneath and around and over the pipeline like they always did before they started contributing to the GNP.

Think of it like this: If the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is your house (apartment, whatever), and you soil a postage stamp on the floor -- that's more relative impact than the drilling footprint will be on ANWR.
