Goodbye Grand Canyon?

By . Wednesday, March 30 2011

| | | |

Why are lobbyists pushing for a wave of uranium mining that would destroy the Grand Canyon? Watch this breathtaking aerial video as it uncovers every nook and cranny of this awe-inspiring wonder of the world:

The Bureau of Land Management has just extended the public comment period from March 30 to May 4, so make your voice heard now—before it’s too late. Tell the U.S. Bureau of Land Management to stop lobbyists in their tracks, and enact a 20-year ban on mining in the Grand Canyon. Sign the Avaaz petition today: http://www.avaaz.org/en/mines_in_the_grand_canyon?vc
