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 InteriorKen 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! »

Let Secretary Salazar Know That You Want Bryce Canyon Protected!
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 National Park in Utah is home to over 100 species of birds, thousands of plant species, and numerous mammals. However, the national park is in danger of being replaced by a coal mine.The city of Los Angeles is set to sap the natural wonder of its biodiversity, but you can help save this natural wonder.»Bryce Canyon has provided a great research area for scientists and a beautiful place for families to visit. Utah tourism is at stake in addition to Bryce Canyon itself.Los Angeles does not need this power. An alternate solution has been proposed — one that wouldn’t require the destruction of a natural haven OR the use and production of dirty energy from coal. People are speaking out about the city of Los Angeles instead creating its own solar energy. Thousands of LA residents have demanded that the city eliminate coal power by 2020, and put LA’s sunny weather to good use.Sign this petition to protect Bryce Canyon National Park, and a brighter, cleaner future for Los Angeles! »

The now infamous Alberta tar sands wreak havoc not only on Canada’s land, people and wildlife, but the global climate at large.
The United States is next on the list of tar sands victims. Utah’s Division of Oil, Gas & Mining has approved the first ever tar sands mine in the U.S. directly adjacent to Canyonlands National Park.
Canada’s Earth Energy Resources, the company that is trying to mine tar sands in Utah, expects to produce 2,000 barrels of crude bitumen per day from this horrific mining project. If Earth Energy Resources gets its way the tar sands min project would occupy 213 acres within the Colorado River watershed.
We can’t allow the precedent of tar sands extraction to be set in America. These stakes are simply too high to live with.
