Tule Springs National Monument - May 21st event

[Jane Feldman]

Dear Sierra Club member or friend -

It's not too late to decide to attend this elegant little event!

 

The event has been organized to provide community leaders, like yourself, with engaging, compelling information regarding Tule Springs. See the flyer that appears below.

 

With legislation to make the Tule Springs area a national monument nearing, we have arranged for Steve Rowland of UNLV to provide talking points on the significance of Tule Springs and for Rick Velotta, business/tourism reporter of the Las Vegas Sun to provide an overview of what this means for economic diversity in our area.

"We are like tenant farmers chopping down the fence around our house for fuel when we should be using Nature’s inexhaustible sources of energy--sun, wind and tide. I’d put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power! I hope we don’t have to wait until oil and coal run out before we tackle that."
— Thomas Alva Edison
