Hi, Here's a petition I signed. I think it's important we protect the wonderfully clear skies at Bryce, as they are a national treasure. As we all know, the lack of dust- and light-pollution there has led to thousands of people enjoying astronomy.

The BLM's own analysis shows that the mine will cause major adverse environmental impacts like increased water and air pollution, devastating a huge area directly next to Bryce Canyon's unique eco-system. Despite these concerns the BLM, just released its environmental review proposing that the mine be approved. BLM is currently accepting public comments on its proposal and strong public opposition is needed to convince the BLM to reverse course and reject this dirty coal mine. Tell the Bureau of Land Management: Don't allow coal mining next to Bryce Canyon National Park. http://act.credoaction.com/campaign/protect_bryce_canyon/?r_by=-4748682-5H5E... ________________________________ If you've received this email in error, please correct your campaign subscription information at: http://act.credoaction.com/s?i=-4748682-5H5EuSx
