“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.

Sign this petition to show your opposition to the coal mine and to protect Bryce Canyon National Park! »”
