Eastern time today to discuss the impact of the bill’s passage and the threat posed by the Trump administration. Grijalva and other bill supporters are holding a press conference at 7:00 p.m. The Natural Resources Committee recently published a video on the widespread community demand for greater Grand Canyon protections. Grijalva published an op-ed in Tuesday’s USA Today – available online at – urging public support for the bill. Industry groups are heavily pressuring the panel to recommend opening public lands to new uranium mining claims, which would inevitably include areas protected by Grijalva’s bill. 14 deadline to provide recommendations to the president on boosting the U.S. Today’s vote comes ahead of the United States Nuclear Fuel Working Group’s Nov. “Protecting the Grand Canyon is more important than offering the mining industry more corporate welfare, and the alliance behind this bill will stand together until we preserve this international icon for our grandchildren once and for all. Some issues are powerful and popular enough to blast right through the usual Senate deadlock, and protecting the Grand Canyon is one of them.” “We wouldn’t be here today without a truly historic level of dedication by people across the country, and I want to thank all the tribes, outdoor advocates, businesspeople, sportsmen and sportswomen, and everyday Americans who have poured their heart and soul into this fight,” Grijalva said today. The Natural Resources Committee passed the current version of the bill on July 17 of this year.

Its passage represents a legislative victory more than a decade in the making for Grijalva, who first introduced the Grand Canyon Watersheds Protection Act – a bill to protect the land in question – in 2008. The bill sets a permanent moratorium on new uranium mining claims on just over 1 million acres of federally protected public lands to the north and south of Grand Canyon National Park. Grijalva (D-Ariz.) today hailed House passage of the Grand Canyon Centennial Protection Act, which advanced on a 236-185 vote. If you prefer a subtle scent added to your clean laundry, we found that adding three drops of essential oil to each of the dryer balls did indeed impart a very subtle, but fresh scent (in our case, lavender, but lemon and eucalyptus are also pleasant) to clothing.10.30.19 Chair Grijalva Hails Passage of Grand Canyon Centennial Protection Act to Block New Uranium Mining – Thanks Allies for Victory a Decade in the Making Your clothes won't be quite as cuddly soft when you first slip into them, but as one of our staffers noted, it's nothing you don't get used to after about a minute.

But if you're sensitive to chemicals, dislike strong scents, or simply prefer eco-friendly laundry methods, the wool dryer balls are the way to go.

If snuggly soft, sweet-smelling laundry is what you crave, then Bounce (or your preferred chemical fabric softener) is your best choice. Although Ecoigy claims its dryer balls will reduce drying time by up to 40%, we found that not to be the case in our test both loads of clothing took about the same time. Not uncomfortably so - the pants weren't going to stand up by themselves - but the towels, jeans, and T-shirts all needed a little extra smoothing to fold neatly and lacked that "finished" feel. By comparison, the clothes dried with the wool dryer balls were stiffer. The bath towel fibers felt plush again the jeans practically folded themselves. There's no question that a chemical fabric softener like Bounce makes clothing feel softer, especially heavy fabrics.
