  • For the greed of some rich people they destroy a whole area of wonderful nature and the lives of the happy people living there in Patagonia, Arizona.

    We shouldn't let this happen.

  • Patagonia is a wonderful community. Open pit mining would have a devastating effect on the water, our air, the ecosystem and the town.
