Pebble Partnership has a clear mission in Alaska: Make money




(12/29/11 21:51:11)

In "Nature Conservancy" 2011 Issue 4, stories are told about how this organization has restored habitat that was previously in trouble. This group is also known for protecting threatened animals.

My question is do we want to have to restore the salmon habitat around Bristol Bay after the Pebble Partnership has wreaked havoc there or do we want to preserve it for future generations?

The Pebble Partnership has been quietly insinuating its name into our psyches by buying advertising at the State Fair, on TV and radio. This greedy corporation is trying to make us believe they are good neighbors. Make no mistake about it: Pebble is only in Alaska to make money. Their ads twist the truth to try to make us believe their proposed mine can operate alongside fisheries.

Who do they think they are kidding? I urge you all to help stop the Pebble mine.
