Many of us submitted our comments against building a huge coal mine right next to Bryce Canyon National Park. Now, the decision is in the hands of Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar, and it’s up to us to make sure he understands just how many people are opposed to this plan. Don’t let Bryce Canyon National Park and southern Utah fall victim to a coal mine! »If you’ve ever been to Bryce Canyon, you know it’s sort of like being on Mars. The red rock formations interspersed with trees is like nothing else. We simply can’t lose this area to a massive, dirty coal mine.
The repercussions of this mine cannot be overstated. It could affect the health of local residents, the quality of the air in the park itself, and the tourism industry.Sign this petition to tell Secretary Salazar that you will not stand for a mine near Bryce Canyon! »

A 3,500 acre coal mine next to Utah‘s pristine Bryce Canyon National Park? Such a horrible idea.We were successful in sending tens of thousands of messages opposing the Bryce Canyon coal mine. Now, it’s up to Secretary Salazar to make the final decision, and we need to put serious pressure on him to reject this horrible plan.

Bryce Canyon is known for its delicate red rock formations and abundant flora and fauna. Don’t let Bryce Canyon National Park and southern Utah become a wasteland! »

Also as a result of the mine, the park, the state’s tourism, and the health of local residents would be put at considerable risk.

It would make much more sense for Los Angeles to make use of its Southern California sun and instead look into creating its own solar energy.
