Unbelievable

		Dear Reader, Don't Let Big Coal Destroy Bryce Canyon National Park! Alton Coal is threatening one of our national treasures -- Bryce Canyon National Park. Right now they're planning on building a 3,500 acre coal strip mine next to the park's stunning vistas and rock spires to keep Los Angeles running on dirty energy even though the city's sunny weather makes it an ideal spot for solar energy. If built, it would turn southern Utah into an industrial zone -- jeopardizing the park, tourism, and the health of local residents. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is accepting comments on this dirty proposal until January 27th. We need to flood the BLM's inbox with 20,000 messages in order to save Bryce Canyon. Send your comment today. Tell the BLM to stop this dirty, dangerous proposal and protect the Bryce Canyon region for future generations. Bryce Canyon is truly one of our nation's treasures. It's home to over 100 species of birds, dozens of mammals, and thousands of plant species. Every year, more than 1.2 million visitors come to the park to experience its beautiful and valuable landscape. Mining would pollute the region's clean water and air, flood Bryce Canyon's world-famous dark night skies with light, destroy habitats, create noise disruptions, and generate toxic coal dust from hundreds of trucks.  Volunteers in Utah and Los Angeles are working hard to protect the air, water, wildlife, and natural wonders of Bryce Canyon. Support their efforts -- tell the BLM to deny Big Coal's proposal to put a coal strip mine next to our national park! 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. There are only a two weeks left to submit comments opposing the strip mine. Help us send 20,000 comments to the BLM before it's too late.   Take action before its too late. Send a message to save Bryce Canyon National Park today! Thanks for all you do to protect our environment. Sincerely, Mary Anne Hitt Director, Beyond Coal Campaign Sierra Club P.S.
