Utah Tar Sands Resistance is presenting a slide show about proposed tar sands mining in the scenic Book Cliffs of Utah. The Book Cliffs (Tavaputs Plateau) have some of the best wildlife habitat in Utah and could support a population of wolves. Hundreds of thousands of acres of high desert forest has been targeted for tar sands and oil shale mining. Damage includes deforestation, ground water pollution, destruction of wilderness, toxic spills, air pollution, and enormous greenhouse gas emissions.
