Utah Policy has organized the first ever Utah "blogswarm" for Friday, April 28. The topic: Nuclear Waste Storage in Utah. All bloggers are encouraged to post on this topic today and tomorrow. There is a press conference on Friday which I will be unable to attend due to my public school teaching responsibilities, but I hope that many readers here will be able to.

Here are things you can do TOMORROW, Friday, April 28:
1. Attend the press conference Friday at noon in the State Office Building. Show your opposition to nuclear waste by showing up in person.
2. Write a letter, or send an e-mail message to the BLM. Here’s a link to a sample letter. Here’s the address:

Pam Schuller
U.S. Bureau of Land Management
Salt Lake Field Office
2370 South 2300 West
Salt Lake City, Utah 84119
Email: pam_schuller@blm.gov

3. If you belong to a business, association or any organization, send an e-mail blast to all members/employees encouraging them to attend the press conference and send a message to the BLM before May 8.
4. Send a message to friends, family members, etc., encouraging them to do the same.
