I am glad to read positive news and efforts of active members in our community working toward a common good against an evident evil. Salmon is one of our most important resources in the state and among one of our main exports; the declining population poses a threat to thousands of already established jobs (more jobs than Pebble will produce), along with communities that rely on them for their subsistance. Supporting a project such as Pebble is a very stupid move: copper prices are declining, when the minerals are extracted from the soil it will be barren... whereas salmon is a sustainable resource, if taken care properly it will keep on returning for our nourishment. There is no way around it: this proposal is good for the community, good for the environment, its action like this that is what we need to thrive as a society.
