Our beautiful Appalachian mountains are still being pillaged and ruined by mountain top coal mining. Environmental groups continue to fight this destructive form of mining. Not only does mountain top mining destroy habitat, it also pollutes the water when all the debris is dumped into rivers and streams, filling them with black slurry. Seeing this in person on my way to Florida was even more disturbing!
Right now, there are dozens of pending permits for new mountaintop removal coal mines in Appalachia. If these new mines get approved, it will mean more people get sick and more mountains get destroyed. It's important to let the Obama Administration know we're tired of seeing families get sick from mining pollution and tired of seeing our mountains vanish.
The Sierra Club is fighting for this important cause. Click on this link to reach a quick form to let your opinion be known:
