EARTHJUSTICE NEWSLETTER: GRIZZLIES ‘SAVED HIS LIFE’ , THE DIRT ON “CLEAN” NATURAL GAS, COAL ASH & PRUITT, CONSUMER SAFETY, SAN PEDRO RIVER 18NOV17

BESIDES the articles from EarthJustice there are to actions you can take part in. I sent this message to the Army Corps of Engineers regarding the proposed development along the San Pedro River.

"It is time to put the brakes on our environmental greed and to take the necessary steps to protect the biodiversity of areas like the San Pedro River watershed. I am asking you to revoke  CWA Permit No. 2003-00826-SDM and to deny any development along the San Pedro River."

AND I sent this to the BLM and Sec of the Interior asking that the 2015 Sage Grouse agreement be maintained, not weakened or abolished.

"There is no reason to weaken or abandon the agreement negotiated and agreed to by the BLM, US Forest Service, the oil and gas industry and conservation and environmental groups. This agreement protects people, property and profits and is an example of what can be accomplished  when people work together. The agreed to protections for sage grouse habitat protects the biodiversity of area environment to the benefit of all."
