SIGN PETITION & BE A HERO! Block Bush from 2 MILLION ACRES of WILDLANDS into Industrial Wastelands. YELLOWSTONE,POP SUPERHERO,COOKIE CUTTER GIRL

Despite a powerful citizen outcry, the Bush administration is
poised to sacrifice more than two million acres of wildlands in
Colorado, Wyoming, and Utah for the production of dirty fuels.

Please take action right now to block this attempt to turn vast
expanses of our natural heritage into industrial wastelands.

Go to http://www.savebiogems.org/yellowstone/takeaction
and tell the Bush administration to stop targeting our last
wildlands for destructive tar sands and oil shale development.

Tar sands production, which involves extracting heavy oil mixed
with sand and clay, generates three times the amount of global
warming pollution as conventional fuel production. Tar sands and
oil shale development are expected to leave behind giant toxic
waste sites, and could drive mountain lions, black bears, mule
deer and bald eagles from their habitat. These projects would
also use enormous amounts of clean water -- a precious resource
that is already scarce in the arid West -- and threaten air
quality and human health.

Go to http://www.savebiogems.org/yellowstone/takeaction
right away and tell the Bush administration to keep dirty fuel
production out of America's West and promote clean energy
instead.

Thank you for helping to protect our last western wildlands.

Sincerely,

Frances Beinecke
President
Natural Resources Defense Council
