Via my good friends @Cristina Mittermeier @paulnicklen and @sealegacy:
We've reached zero hour for Pebble Mine. The window of time left to convince Congressional leaders that political intervention is necessary to stop Pebble Mine's permitting process is closing fast. In 2014, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published the Bristol Bay Watershed Assessment after an exhaustive, three-year process evaluating the risks posed by the Pebble Mine. They concluded that even under a best-case scenario, Pebble would pose an unacceptable risk to Bristol Bay’s watershed and wild fish. Five years later, Pebble is closer than ever before to being permitted. Under the current Administration, EPA leadership has reversed course on its 2014 determination, and has instead set out to fast-track the permitting process at unprecedented speed. ———————————————————————- I’ve been tracking and supporting the fight to stop the Pebble Mine in Bristol Bay for years, much like I’ve been following and supporting the fight to preserve the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and the Boundary Waters from resource extraction. These are important issues because the impact of mining and resource extraction in these pristine areas is devastating to crucial and irreplaceable habitats. I know it’s a complicated issue but I often think about what legacy we want to leave our children. We owe it to them, to the wildlife, the landscapes and ourselves to fight for these wild places.

samnighthescienceguy Bristol Bay produces most of the sockeye salmon to the US. I've worked as a fisherman up there and I can not imagine how many families who have relied on the bay for generations would be devastated. Fishing is the career and skill passed down generation to generation. It truly would be a tragedy for so many people and animals.

ellisont52 Signed and want to add that as a former miner... the waste is unprecedented...hydraulic oil cans, used conveyor belts, wooden pellets, construction material... just refuse that could be recycled but easier just to bury it and forget it mentality...pristine Alaska doesn't need this!

katkrl Jeff Merkley from my home state of Oregon is on appropriations and is an ally of the environment. It would be good to contact his legislative team to make sure he is up to speed. Let me know if you need assistance with that.

johnny.alpine We need to strike a balance of ecology and economy. We we do not consider ecology most certainly the economy will prevail everytime. Large scale rethinking what economy means is required.

tashi_tewa Hi Jimmy, how the online petition can help? May be, one might need to go beyond that possibly for an actual impact on the minds n workings of those politicians n businessmen. #curious

rainforestmama Thank you for your advocacy, @jimmychin. Alaska is under fire and we need all hands on deck to help preserve this sacred place. ♥️ #nopebblemine #no #notnow #notever #alaska
