Opposition to Mt. St. Helens Copper Mine Growing

It is refreshing to see that communities and environmental organizations are already working to stop this awful copper mine we've reported on several times now. (See March 14 post, below.) Forbes.com reports that "the communities of Kelso and Castle Rock have passed resolutions opposing the lease because of potential harmful effects on Green River water quality, fisheries, recreation and tourism." The same article quotes Ryan Hunter of the Gifford Pinchot Task Force, a rugged, savvy little group from Washington State that we at DL have always liked, opposing the mine.
