DON'T PUT A COAL MINE IN BRYCE CANYON--LET'S MOVE TO SOLAR

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!

ENDANGERED SPECIES IN PERIL

The oil and gas industry are looking to run right over animals that get in the way of their latest pipeline expansion plans. NiSource, a big gas pipeline company, is pressuring the U. S. Fish and Wildlike Service (FWS) to issue a permit that would allow NiSource to kill endangered species anywhere along a mile-wide, 15,000 mile long pipeline corridor. Also, NiScource wants the permit to last for fifty years.

The nearly 10 million acre swath of land, covering 14 states from Louisiana to New York, is home to the Eastern bog turtle, the Louisians black bear, and the Virginia flying squirrel and over 70 other threatened and endangered species.

The FWS needs to hear from you. FWS is giving members of the public until December 13 to weigh in with their concerns. Please contact them NOW.
