Ironwood, a pristine Eden, untouched by industrial interference, is under a colossal threat. The proposed opening of the Copperwood Mine could mean irrevocable harm to this wonder of nature. Copper mines are well-known sources of soil, air, and water pollution. Especially disturbing is the possibility of acid mine drainage which could leach into our groundwater and affect local flora and fauna. This has been confirmed by numerous studies published by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Let us protect Ironwood's unparalleled beauty, the home to diverse species and a vital part of our eco-system. It's also a place of breathtaking natural beauty which could attract eco-tourism if preserved. This petition seeks your support to halt the Copperwood Mine project and prevent the destruction of our cherished landscape. Please sign this petition to voice your opposition to the Copperwood Mine and stand up for the conservation of Ironwood's natural beauty.
