Stop the Attack on Utah's Wild Lands
Target: Secretary Kempthorne, U.S. Department of InteriorSponsored by: The Wilderness Society
The Bush administration's plan for 11 million spectacular acres in Utah is alarming -- a sharp increase in oil and gas development and off-road vehicle use. It spells disaster for the rushing rivers and rocky canyons that are home to a wide variety of wildlife and a delight to nature lovers.
Your petition signature today is so important. Unless the public speaks out now, the Bush administration will forge ahead aggressively, with little thought to the permanent impact on a fragile, irreplaceable ecosystem.
This administration is on a dangerous course that will inevitably destroy some of the greatest wilderness in our country. These fragile and magnificent public lands in Utah need protection -- not exploitation.
Sign this petition to Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne. Act now.

people are so selfish, we just think we can take take take and it doesnt matter what will happen later. i think preserving nature is important because of it beauty and its inhabitants.

First and foremost I believe these lands need to be protected because the lands cannot protect themselves. This seems like an obvious and rather simple truth but it is important just the same. The land cannot cry out in pain or protest and make its voice heard. Therefore, decent people must fight for the land and protect it from obliteration. Secondly, these lands should be protected because we have already done harm that is irreversible, there is no telling what ramifications would result by destroying the land even more. Personally, my desire to see this land protected from outside harmful sources is abundantly more important than anything one can get from the land through these harmful means. Is having fun off-roading or getting oil, which will be a drop in the bucket, worth having to face the generations to come and tell them we could have saved the land from destruction but we were too greedy? For me the answer has always been, now and will always be, NO!

All people in the world have to be responsible for all creatures living on this planet, even you. No one can live on this world further if it's destroyed. So why don't you stop fatal behaviour of mankind against nature? Be careful and respectful! Stop pollution, create alternative energy ressources!

Oh give me a break, our ecosystem is already fragile enough as it is. Protect the land!!! Like the wildlife, it too is becoming "extinct." And all for what? In the name of progress? No one really wants this!
