Last night we walked out onto the lake to get water from the water hole and found northern lights dancing across the horizon. Engulfed in the still, silent, spring air we gazed across the lake. Green waves of light shimmered and flowed, ebbed and grew more brilliant.
Moments like these help strengthen our resolve. We must protect the Boundary Waters for future generations. We must speak loudly for this quiet place. The Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness is a national treasure like Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon; these public lands belong to all of us and it is up to us to protect them for future generations.
The EPA considers hard rock mining to be the nation’s most polluting industry. Foreign mining companies want to build copper mines in a sulfide-ore body on the edge of the Boundary Waters, our nation’s most popular Wilderness area. A mine of this type has never been build anywhere in the world without causing significant surface or ground water pollution. Please like @savetheBWCA , sign the petition(link in bio), make a donation, and help protect this national treasure. #wildernessyear #savetheBWCA #wilderness #BWCA #BoundaryWaters #keepitwild #aurora #northernlights #nightsky #beautiful #wearethewild #onlyinMN
