This looked worthy of passing along from Audubon... the next (and final) meeting on this is next Tuesday in St. Paul. Hope to make it, Cathy Gagliardi
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// As we all know, Northeast Minnesota is a wilderness treasure. The St. Louis River watershed is a unique part of Minnesota's natural heritage and the headwaters of the Great Lakes. But right now, mining companies like PolyMet want to build new and toxic sulfide mines in the watershed that would create extreme water pollution that could last for the NEXT 500 YEARS and leave billions of dollars of cleanup costs for Minnesota taxpayers. Two hearings have been held to gather public input on the proposal. Hearings are the first and most critical step to showing broad public support for clean water protection in our state. The third hearing will be January 28th in Saint Paul. This is just the beginning. We have one hearing left to raise our voices and protect our pristine waters. Can you join us at this public hearing? Please fill out our RSVP form here and we'll send you the details! And don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. Thank you so much for all you do to make the world a better place, and I hope to see you there. Best, Lucy P.S. The more people we have at the hearing, the bigger an impact we can make.
