Save the Great Salt Lake

The Great Salt Lake is home to one of the nation's greatest bird habitats. Do we want it to dry up? It is the largest saltwater lake in the Western Hemisphere. The Great Salt Lake produces enormous quantities of brine shrimp and brine flies, forming the base of a globally significant food web. I ask again, are we going to allow it to dry up? The exposed lakebed is already one of the largest sources of toxic dust in North America, the dust spreading arsenic, lead and other heavy metals to the lungs of those breathing the air along the Wasatch Front. This is our lake and we need to save it. Join me in fighting for it.
