The proposed Las Vegas Pipeline will drain the valleys of western Utah and eastern Nevada, creating a dust bowl the size of the state of Vermont.
Utah's Salt Lake Valley already has some of the worst air quality in the nation.
Utah's Governor Herbert will likely sign his OK to this pipeline project on April 1.
CALL GOVERNOR HERBERT'S OFFICE TODAY, AND EVERY DAY THIS WEEK, TO SAY "NO PIPELINE—PLEASE SAVE UTAH AND NEVADA FROM THIS DESTRUCTION AND SAVE OUR LUNGS FROM EPIC DUST STORMS." Please do not let this happen to the state I love.
It's easy and takes just thirty seconds: 801-538-1000. Thousands of folks are MAKING THE CALL! Please share this blog with anyone concerned about water in the West.

Who needs this water more: new Las Vegas suburbs which do not even yet exist, or the residents and plants and animals of the most arid parts of Utah and Nevada who have lived there for centuries?
Water will continue to be mined and sold if we don't protest. Keep Utah's water in Utah, and the gorgeous arid desert strong and free.
