Wilderness helps us realize that we are a part of something much greater and remember we are placed on earth for a instant in geologic time. What we do with our time and how we leave the earth is up to us. Gliding across the mirror smooth surface of Vera Lake as the setting sun’s golden glow engulfs the landscape all we could hear was the water dripping of our paddles between each rhythmic stroke and rapid wing beats of a loon as it flew overhead.
Moments like 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 its 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 giant 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.
