Save the Grand Canyon!

Sign the Petition Against Mining the Grand Canyon

I was appalled when I got this in my Twitter feed! Why would anyone even think of mining for uranium in the Grand Canyon?
Growing up in Arizona, I feel attached to the natural beauty that you find there, there is nothing else like it in the world. Once you tamper with it there is no getting it back. The Grand Canyon shows approximately two billion years of geological history, and took millions of years to form. It is a national treasure, and should be left alone.

There are some places in the world that you'll visit to remind yourself just how magnificent and breath-taking nature is, to remind yourself how small and short your time on the Earth is, and to remind yourself how you are part of something greater than yourself.
