Dear NRDC BioGems Defender,
Enough study. It’s time for action!
The EPA has just released its latest scientific findings. And once again it has determined that the Pebble Mine would be devastating for the spectacular wilderness, wildlife and people of Alaska’s Bristol Bay.
The time for study is over! Tell the EPA to finalize its assessment and stop the Pebble Mine.
The agency is inviting the public to send comments until May 31 -- so we’re aiming to flood them with 500,000 anti-Pebble messages by month’s end. Please do your part today!
There are 10 billion reasons for EPA to stop this mega-mine. That’s how many tons of contaminated mining waste the Pebble Mine would produce, endangering one of America’s great natural treasures.
I’m sure you agree: We can’t stand by and allow a toxic mega-mine to destroy a world-class salmon fishery that provides 14,000 jobs and generates $1.5 billion per year just to fill the pockets of a few global mining companies.
The EPA has produced all the scientific evidence it needs to stop this mine. What’s more, it has the clear authority under the Clean Water Act to do so.
But the agency and the White House are under enormous pressure from the mining industry to give the Pebble Mine the green light. That’s why it’s so crucial that they hear from 500,000 outraged Americans right away.
Please tell EPA you will not tolerate the destruction of one of our planet’s last and greatest wild places. Tell them to turn their latest findings into action by rejecting the Pebble Mine.
Thank you for standing with NRDC and our local partners in defense of Bristol Bay.
Sincerely,
Frances Beinecke
President
Natural Resources Defense Council |
