STOP ORVIS ! In their opposition to the Pebble Mine.

By David Miller posted 04-17-2013 08:16 PM

  
The latest Orvis catalog, May, 2013 has a STOP PEBBLE logo on the cover.  You can then go to their website:
www.orvis.com/pebblemine and learn how horrible mining is. 

Let's show ORVIS about what some of their past customers think of their position!

Call/email/ send a letter to let them know what you think and to get off their mailing list.

I did!

Regards and thanks to everyone for what they do for mining and betterment of all mankind!

Please pass along to all your mining friends!

From the Orvis website:

"You can help prevent this by giving to the Orvis/TU Alaska Pebble Mine Fund. Orvis is partnering with its customers in a matching funds grant, with a goal of $100,000 to preserve Alaska's Bristol Bay habitat by stopping the construction of Pebble Mine. This year Orvis is donating $50,000 in matching funds so that every $100 you donate will become $200. Send your check to TU Alaska Pebble Mine, c/o The Orvis Company"

The larger issue with the Pebble Project is EPA's threat to use a preemptive veto of a yet to be submitted mining application from Pebble. The environmental review process to-date has been flawed and EPA has bowed to pressure to allow the third-party reviewers to reconsider some of EPA's assumptions regarding the mine configuration and environmental impacts. If you consider EPA's preemptive veto threat for Pebble, along with EPA's veto of an already issued permit in the case of Spruce Mine #1 in West Virginia, you quickly come to the conclusion that mixing politics with predetermined scientific outcomes makes for bad public policy. The loser here is the federal agency that publicly said they would rely on a transparent public review process and reliance on the use of fair and balanced science, in making their environmental decisions.
