INFORMATION / TALKING POINTS
Big Coal and the City of Los Angeles are threatening Bryce Canyon National Park. They've proposed building a 3,500 acre coal strip mine right next to the park to extract coal to power L.A. If built, the mine would turn southern Utah into an industrial zone -- jeopardizing the park, tourism, and the health of local residents.
Instead of destroying a national park to create dirty energy from coal, the sun-drenched city of Los Angeles should create its own solar energy. Right now, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is accepting your comments on the strip mine proposal.
Thank you for everything you do for animals!
