Friends of the River, Tell The Dam Truth, and Patagonia have partnered to estimate Sites Reservoir greenhouse gas emissions - finding that the reservoir's annual emissions will equal 80,000 gasoline-powered cars. This project will harm rivers and is not in line with California's climate goals.
Sites Reservoir is expensive for taxpayers, bad for salmon, and will create little water for Californians, adding less than 1% to California's water supply on average. The era of big dam building is over -- it's time to usher in an era of sustainable water management. It's now or never to Stop Sites.
Help protect and restore the rivers of California and have a fun-filled evening under the stars on the banks of the American River.
The evening will be filled with festivity and friends, food and wine, music and dancing.
