Dear John,
Our public lands and precious wildlife are under attack! Trump’s Bureau of Land Management plans to sell off thousands of acres of land in Montana for new drilling while selling out the local wildlife.
The lands for sale are close to the sage-brush -- important nesting grounds for Greater Sage Grouse, which is at risk of extinction. If these areas are leased for fracking and drilling projects, the pristine ecosystems and habitats could be destroyed.
The science is clear: We must keep all fossil fuels in the ground. The BLM can still cancel this sale. But we must act fast! Now, is the time to make your voice heard to protect Montana’s lands and wildlife.
Tell the BLM to protect Montana’s lands and wildlife from fossil fuel devastation!
The Trump Administration wants to hand over Montana’s sensitive landscapes to Big Oil and Gas. But our planet can’t handle any more fracking and drilling projects.
Fossil fuel extraction would pollute this landscape’s air and water, while endangering its delicate ecosystems.
Moreover, the fracking technique used in Big Oil and Gas projects will be devasting to the health of local communities. Extracted fracking wastewater can be radioactive, and its disposal through injection wells has proven to increase earthquakes.
We can’t let Big Oil destroy these ecologically rich landscapes just so it can increase its profits.
Sign your name: Tell the BLM to take action for the climate, protect water and threatened wildlife!
In short, the BLM’s proposed leases will pose a safety and health threat to the people who live on the surrounding land, and alter the quality and nature of this pristine landscape forever.
The solution is simple: No more lease sales to Big Oil and Gas. Not in Montana. Not anywhere. But we need your help to send that message.
Help send 30,000 comments to the BLM: Tell the agency to protect threatened wildlife and cancel this lease sale now!
Standing with you,
Nicole Ghio,
Senior fossil fuels program manager,
