Protect our water and our wallets from toxic mining pollution

Did you know that multinational corporations are planning to build new toxic-producing mines in northeastern Minnesota?

These so-called "sulfide" or "non-ferrous" mines threaten our lakes, rivers, and streams in and around the Boundary Waters and near Lake Superior and Minnesota taxpayers are at risk to pay the bill for long-term pollution clean-up.

Urge your legislators to support stronger financial assurance, a "damage deposit" that companies should provide before they are allowed to open a sulfide mine. That way clean-up costs are covered even if the mining company leaves Minnesota or goes bankrupt.

Keep up the pressure on our elected officials to protect our Great Outdoors!

Thank you for your continued support to protect Minnesota’s lakes, rivers, streams, prairies, forests, and our Great Outdoors. Your calls, letters, and emails to your legislators and the Governor helped us claim some victories this year!

Though the 2010 Minnesota legislative session produced mixed results for Minnesota’s clean energy and Great Outdoors future, our work does not stop here.

We need your help to pass strong environmental policies next year! We need to hold our elected officials accountable and make certain these issues are highlighted in the November Election.
