Put Human Health and Environment First in Wyoming
Target: EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson
Sponsored by: The Wilderness Society
Sponsored by: The Wilderness Society
Just a few short years ago, the Upper Green River Basin of Wyoming, a major migration corridor for wildlife in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, was known for its pristine air and water quality and 100-mile views.
But that was before the valley saw the rapid development of two of the largest gas fields in the nation. Today, residents of this rural region are subject to unprecedented ozone health advisories, and there is documented evidence of widespread groundwater contamination caused by oil and gas activity.
Incredibly, the federal government's Bureau of Land Management is now proposing to develop more than 4,000 new wells in the area, and drastically increase the pace of drilling activity without giving adequate thought to how that would further impact the local people and wildlife.
Unfortunately, we cannot stop this development outright, but we can insist that the strictest environmental safeguards are included and the pace of drilling is significantly slowed down.
The Environmental Protection Agency is attempting to do just that, and put human health and the environment first. Let's make sure the EPA knows it has plenty of public support for this approach. Please sign the petition below!

Human life is priceless, as is our environment; they cannot be destroyed for material profit. |
