From The Wilderness Society:
Despite repeated and conclusive studies that show that snowmobiles add to air and noise pollution and disturb wildlife in Yellowstone, the Bush Administration is proposing to allow up to TRIPLE THE CURRENT AVERAGE NUMBER OF SNOWMOBILES INTO AMERICA'S FIRST NATIONAL PARK.
Tell the Park Service to mind the science, and protect Yellowstone.

Snowmobiles are harmful to the park for many reasons. They undercut the natural and pristine conditions of the area. The noise they produce makes it impossible for visitors to enjoy the natural quiet of The Great Outdoors and also disturbs the park’s wildlife. Snowmobiles pollute the air with fumes that can be harmful to the health of visitors, park employees, and wildlife.
A more practical and environmentally sound alternative to allow viewers to travel through the park would be to use multi-passenger snowcoaches, which are much less intrusive than individual snowmobiles. Providing visitor access on snowcoaches ensures everyone opportunities to see the winter beauty of Yellowstone without compromising the quality or safety of others' experience, and without inflicting damage on America's most-loved National Park.
TAKE ACTION TO SAVE YELLOWSTONE! Thousands of Americans are outraged over the Bush Administration’s proposal and have written letters to the National Park Service to plead that they end snowmobile use in the park and introduce snowcoaches. A bipartisan group of every living former director of the National Park Service – except one – has joined in a letter to U.S. Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne urging him to ensure a continued transition away from snowmobile use in Yellowstone National Park. DO YOUR PART!
