Tell Park Service: Wrong Way on Yellowstone!

Three separate studies show that current snowmobile use in Yellowstone is damaging the majestic park, yet George Bush's National Park Service (NPS) wants to nearly triple the use of snowmobiles!

This action would nearly triple nitrogen oxide emissions, double hydrocarbon emissions, and push carbon monoxide emissions up 60 percent in the park.

Fortunately, the NPS is taking comments right now on the rule change for snowmobile use. Tell it to reject the "preferred alternative" that would increase the daily number of snowmobiles allowed in the park and instead go with "Alternative 2," which would phase out snowmobiles and transition to snowcoaches.

The sign-on letter below will be sent by us to Yellowstone Superintendent Suzanne Lewis, who is collecting the comments for the NPS. There is also a space below for you to provide your own personal message, if you wish.

I am writing in regard to the National Park Service's plans to change the regulation of snowmobile use in Yellowstone National Park. Despite three Park Service studies finding that current snowmobile use is damaging Yellowstone -- and despite protests from nearly all former NPS directors -- I understand that the National Park Service's preferred plan is to allow a threefold increase in snowmobile use in the park. I urge the National Park Service to reject this "preferred alternative" and to instead adopt "Alternative 2," which would phase out the use of snowmobiles in favor of snowcoaches.

4973	May 12, 2008	Kate Scarlott	E. Hardwick, VT	I know first hand about the damage to humans, animals and the environment is caused by the air and noise pollution from snowmobiles -- our state imposed a public snowmobile trail 55 feet from our house. Snowmobiles destroy human health and are an abomination on the environment. No more snowmobiles on public lands!
