Surely there must be a better way rather than to destroy everything for a mine! This is so bizzare!

Reform of 1872 mining law won't save Western splendors By SCOTT STREATER, GreenwirePublished: April 16, 2009

a couple of excerpts :

... " We always hoped the federal government would recognize the critical habitat value of the area and step in and protect the grizzly bears and bull trout, but they have done the exact opposite," said Jim Costello, Montana coordinator for the Rock Creek Alliance, a citizens group fighting the proposed mine. "They have sold them out to corporate interests."

"For lawmakers and activists, the proposed mine in the Kootenai National Forest is exhibit A in the ongoing battle in Washington, D.C., to reform the 1872 hardrock mining law to reflect today's environmental and economic realities."

Cher thank you for this Action > i had no idea how 'antiquated' the US government laws are concerning land use especially protecting parkland,grizzlies, flora, fauna, streams,fish,ecosystems, watersheds ....

We are supposed to be the Care Takers of our Mother Earth for the next generations ... our government needs to start taking responsibility and we must stay vigilant by contacting our Representatives ... send a letter to the White House ... i know i will !
