Alert: The Smoky Mountains In Tennessee  

Focus:Environment
Action Request:Visit - online
Location:Tennessee, United States


Greetins all, We all know the beauty of the smoky mountains in Tennessee and all of the wildlife that call the mountains home....Well once again,progree rears it's ugly head and the fight is on! They now want to build another interstate through the mountains and build more roads and put up more cabins to rent to the public.This will destroy habitat for the wildlife and a few species are threatened with extinction such as the firefly if this is allowed.There are people attending the meetings on favor of doing this,but only fifty people showed up to say no. You may research this action and submit your comments at elkmontcomments@nainc.com and go to http://www.elkmont-gmpa-ea.com for time and locations of public meetings to discuss this and give your comments.Please,if you can attend these meetings,do so.If not,e-mail the superintendent of the park and state your feelings on this matter.We must preserve these mountains and protect them from those who are only in it for profit with no regard to the mountains or the wildlife that call them home.It is vital that the people who want to save the land and the wildlife stand up and fight this.The mountains do not need any more buildings or roads.This would not only hurt the wildlife and the mountains,but also existing farms.Please check out these sights and take a stand for the mountains....Lend your voice to the mountains that cannot cry out to save themselves!! Thank  You and Blessings
