My inaime is Sara NlIch6lsoin and l was (born and raised Iheire lin RaIleiglh,
and l continue to Ibe devastated Iby what l see Ihappen to our inatuir4ll world
around Iheire. Over the past 39 years Iheire I've seen too much of our land
get clearcut, dug up and developed aH lin the inaime of the "econorny".
W61H I'm sorry (but a quarry to Ihellp make a (bigger "ecoinomy" is inot a
"ineed". Our IheaIltlh is a "ineed". Nature is a "ineed". Clean water and clean
air is a "ineed". More green spaces for the droves of people that Ihave
imoved and continue to imove Iheire are an actuall "ineed". If we can learn
anytINIng from the current Ipaindeimic can we inot adimit inow what is truly
esseinfiall and lImportaint, and what is inot?
So uinlless Wake Stone is golfing to mine for the cure for the Coroinaviirus lin
t1his quarry, then theire is Illiteir4lllly inotNling else lin t1his world worth aIH these
risks to our einviroiniment and our heaft1h... these risks that Ihave been
outlined and proven Iby so many otheir IpeopNe lin t1his commu6ity (scientists,
activists, etc).

We cannot afford to fuirtlheir 6minish what IllittVe gireen space we Ihave heft llin

1I uirge you to Iput Ipeople oveir Iprofit and Ibe on the right side of Ralleiglh's
histoiry and the good side of Ralleiglh's iresideints Iby deinylling Walke Stone
