Save the Grand Canyon: Stop toxic mining!
The Grand Canyon is one of our greatest national treasures, but a new
“gold rush” has created a disturbing trend. Since 2003, 800 new
hardrock mining claims have been staked within 5 miles of the Grand
Canyon. With cyanide regularly used to mine these minerals, the Grand
Canyon could suffer from completely legal toxic contamination. Let your senators know that you won’t stand for toxic mining
threatening the Grand Canyon. Ask them to pass the strongest possible
protections when they take up their version of the Hardrock Mining and
Reclamation Act.Follow these 3 easy steps to help out.
