End the possibility of the Polymet mine starting in the BWCA!
If the Polymet mine were to start up in the boundary waters it would first effect the surrounding waters, and with the hundreds and thousands of body's of water in this huge area with hundreds and thousands of connecting rivers they will all be polluted in no time. They say that they have the best science for the cleaning of pollution but whose to say that? Whose to say they won't get shut down in five years and never do a thing to clean up the pollution? That would result in one of the most beautiful places and the cleanest place on this earth being ruined. The BWCA is home to a significant amount wildlife. Such as fish. Trout are a big species throughout the boundary waters and they are also the most sensitive and could easily be entirely wiped out! Not to mention this place is the only natural habitat in Minnesota left for moose, and they are dangerously endangered and their population could be in major jeapordy. I myself and I big outdoor enthusiasts and fisherman and would die inside to see this beautiful place ruined and kill out most of the fish in these protected areas. Please get this out and let it be known to save this part of Northern Minnesota/southern Canada. This place is so protected you can't even run a boat motor in most of the lakes and they want to put a huge mining operation in it. Please sign this petition!
Thank you for your time and the read,
