Growing up in Minnesota alone gives you a greater appreciation for nature I’d like to say. With the BWCA I’ll say it’s created an appreciation like no other in me. A large majority of my earliest memories are of the cabin. Which is why I bring this to other people’s attention in the hopes to not let the BWCA be torn apart by rich dudes in offices thousands of miles away from ever seeing what they do.
(Surprise to the family members who hadn’t seen the first one in years, I hadn’t either)
H.J. Res. 140 introduced by Rep Pete Stauber as a way to overturn a “Biden Era” mining ban seeks to return the mining leases back to Twin Metals, a subsidiary of the Chilean mining giant Antofagasta. This company has a horrendous and corrupt track record and in no way should be trusted to operate “safely” so close to a natural area like the BWCA.
