Yesterday, President Obama signed a Presidential Memorandum protecting Bristol Bay, Alaska from all future oil and gas drilling.
"These waters are too special and too valuable to auction off to the highest bidder" -President Obama
While this is obviously a great thing and something to be celebrated, the movement to conserve Bristol Bay and the rivers that feed it is far from over. The Pebble Mine, potentially the worlds largest open pit copper, gold, and molybdenum mine still looms on the horizon.
You want to see how fun it is to have a huge open pit mine in your watershed? Come visit me in Butte, America and you can see how awesome it really is.
