Call the Governor’s office & tell them you’re opposed to Pebble Mine at (907)269-7450. They are trying to rush the process with Covid-19 as an excuse. I would upload a picture of the facebook post by Save Bristol Bay but I don’t know how. I called and left a message, got right through.

Yep between the extractive industries assaults on the coldwater womb and all the low-holers raping the ocean nursery, the critter's candle is rapidly being burned from both ends.
The human madness of chasing the almighty dollar is a hard habit to break. Our exponential economy is drawing down all the assets of the natural world. Until mankind can muster the discipline to coexist with the natural economy and sustainably function as a part of the natural ecosystem rather than its conqueror, we'll continue down the path of our own destruction.
I truly fear for my grandson's future.

A 15 sqaure mile mine at the headwaters of any stream is huge.

If anyone wants to see what happens when a failure occurs look up "Mount Polley Mine Disaster". This was probably pretty small scale compared to what they are proposing for Pebble Mine.

I figure I got 10 good years left... TOPS! I'll be gone before it all goes to $h!t. My kids are destined to have a less prosperous future than their old man. By the time my grandson is a productive adult, the competition for the most basic of natural resources will be acute. Clean fresh water will be the new gold.

Exactly! Vote straight blue! Retardlicans don’t understand anything related to the environment much less anything else. Not sure how the party has gone from an outdoor champ like Teddy Roosevelt to a slum lord trying to whack down Tongass, dig Pebble, & save the dams. A true asshole, he’ll never be forgotten.
