Another thing you can do is ARM YOURSELF WITH KNOWLEDGE for when you're talking with friends, family or even your elected representative. Don't let anyone tell you Albertans want coal mining on our #EasternSlopes. Recent polling shows a STRONG MAJORITY are against it

Image of the Rocky Mountains and screenshot of an FBook post from CPAWS Southern Alberta that reads "💡 NEW POLL RESULTS 💡
Our friends at Livingstone Landowners Group (LLG) and Save The Mountains - Alberta yesterday released polling demonstrating that LESS than 1/4 of Albertans support coal exploration for mining in the Eastern Slopes of Alberta’s Rocky Mountains."

The poll also found that 2/3 of Albertans are concerned about possible water and air contamination resulting from coal development.

Other results revealed:

🟡 88% of Albertans do not think coal development in the Eastern Slopes should be allowed if it negatively impacts existing agriculture and tourism industries.

🟡 73% believe the environmental risks associated with mining outweigh the economic benefits of future coal mining in the Eastern Slopes.

🟡 Of Albertans aware of the possibility of the proposed coal developments, 77% were concerned about possible selenium contamination in watersheds and 70% were concerned with coal dust carrying downwind from the mine sites.

“The impacts of coal development will be devastating to our ranching operation but will undoubtedly impact our entire agricultural corridor and industry here in Southwestern Alberta,” says John Smith of the Plateau Cattle Company and the Pekisko Group 🐄🏔️🌾

CONTENT “We aren’t the only industry, though; tourism, the filming industry, and everyone downstream will be negatively impacted. With a watershed currently over-allocated and record low water levels recorded within our headwaters—where will the high-volume water demand that coal development requires come from?”

We have the same question, YourAlberta (Government of Alberta), and we expect an answer — and a meaningful response to the concerns that thousands of Albertans have already, and continue to, express 💬

Hey, at least there won't be any windmills blocking the view of the rubble! [For those who don't know, Alberta killed wind power projects that are in front of views. ]
