Urgent Action Needed by JUNE 10th DEADLINE: Stop greedy polluters from DESTROYING threatened Greater Sage-grouse habitat! >> Picture this: a crisp, quiet morning on the Wyoming sagebrush plains. Greater Sage-grouse birds cluck around, performing their iconic courtship rituals. SUDDENLY – the ground SHAKES! The STENCH of sulfur invades the air. The TERRIFIED birds scurry away Wastewater seeps into the ground below and CONTAMINATES DRINKING WATER! The Department of Interior is poised to lease 10,155 acres of public lands to the highest fossil fuel bidder. Every single parcel of land up for grabs is in Greater Sage-grouse habitat. There are also major threats to nearby communities and the planet from air pollution and climate-warming emissions! Please, Tony, take immediate action to STOP fossil fuel corporations from STAINING our precious public lands, POLLUTING communities, and DESTROYING wildlife habitat! Stopping drilling on public lands is key for fighting climate change. In fact, nearly a QUARTER of all U.S. climate emissions are the result of fossil fuel extraction on public lands. Canceling this lease sale won’t just protect the immediate ecosystem and surrounding communities, it will help protect our entire planet! Fossil fuel companies have been taking advantage of public lands for far too long. Their executives rake in profits as our communities and planet suffer. Your immediate action can help protect more than 10,000 acres of public lands from falling into the wrong hands – but we need you to act RIGHT NOW! Will you stand up to greedy fossil fuel companies and help conserve Wyoming public lands? Standing with you,
