Good news from our friends at Sierra Club.  Protecting our natural capitol has become critical than ever.  Man does not need to destroy more virgin land to expand or meet our current economic demands.  In fact we can meet our quality of life needs AND remediate our past ecological destruction.
Glad to share this with you.  From listening to us, you know renewable energy is going to be a friendly tenant to the CA sands as we take advantage of the winds and sun blazing our deserts.
Great news! President Obama has just protected over 1.8 million acres of California desert!
The Mojave Trails National Monument's vast open spaces include ancient trade routes of indigenous Americans as well as historic Route 66, and essential habitat for desert tortoise and bighorn sheep linking two national parks. 
Sand to Snow, rising from the Sonoran desert floor to Mount San Gorgonio, Southern California's highest peak, is a botanically rich tapestry of ecosystems and cultural sites. 
The Castle Mountains include some of the region's finest Joshua tree, pinyon pine and juniper forests. Now, these lands are protected for generations to come.
Thanks to thousands of activists like you, President Obama and his administration heard loud and clear that these wild places deserved to be permanently protected. 
Now the California desert -- one of the most unique places in the country, thanks to its starkly beautiful scenery, Native American petroglyphs, and multicultural history -- is permanently protected.
Thanks for helping to protect one of America's last great frontiers.
