This is a petition i co-created. This place is called the Boundary Waters, it is located in northern Minnesota, and as you can see it is quite a beautiful place. Recently, mineral deposits have been found near the shore and woods of this area. Of course, being the greedy Americans that we are, the government wants to strip mine it. The second photo is a example of strip mining. This is essentially how it will look when it’s over.

Please, sign the petition whether your from the states or not. You will get no spam in your inbox I promise you. Please reblog this. Every single signature counts. I may be only 16, but change needs to come. They already took away forests but don’t let them pollute this water too.

Good for you for taking a stand. You obviously care about this area and you’re doing something about it. That’s admirable and will be taken seriously by everyone, despite your age. I’ll sign your petition and I wish you luck.

The Boundary Waters are a special place for me.  If you wouldn’t mind, take a sec and sign this petition as a favor to me.

This would be devastating. Here’s more info on sulfide mining  in the BWCAW and its consequences. It takes two seconds to sign the petition.
