50% profits will go towards supporting the efforts of Save the Boundary Waters in the fight to protect the land from the Trump administration.

The Trump administration has:

- Shredded the federal Clean Water Act,
- Gutted the National Environmental Policy Act,
- Arbitrarily reinstated expired mining leases,
- Made a joke of the environmental review process and ignored citizens,
- Cancelled critical studies,
- Suppressed important science,

All with the goal of handing over America’s most popular Wilderness to be exploited for the benefit of a Chilean mining giant Antofagasta.

___

America has 24 mines producing copper. There is no shortage of copper, but there is only one Boundary Waters.

___

Save the Boundary Waters is leading the effort to prevent copper mining on the edge of the Boundary Waters. This approach already includes multiple lawsuits, a permanent protection bill in the U.S. Congress, an intensive expert review of the Mine Plan of Operation to expose the dangers, and much, much more.
