Description
MEIC, Sierra Club, Northern Plains Resource Council, Northern Rockies Rising Tide, and Montana Conservation Voters will be hosting a rally outside the State Capitol in Helena before the State Land Board Members vote on leasing 1.3 billion tons of coal contained in Otter Creek Coal Tracts. This is the most important decision the Land Board has faced! Leasing this coal will mean that 2.5 billion tons of CO2 will be released into the atmosphere. Private property, valuable wildlife habitat, and water quality will be threatened. Attend the rally before Land Board members vote and tell them to SAY NO to leasing Otter Creek Coal!
