Ever since writing the post Open For Business, I’ve been thinking about the statement I made at the end of that post.
“Mountaintop removal is happening right this very minute and every second wasted is precious time lost.”
In particular, I’ve been thinking about all the different terms ‘time’ can be replaced with and still make this a true statement - heritage, culture, natural resources, headwaters, habitat, history, hardwood forest, mountains, valleys - and probably a few more I can’t think of at the moment. The point is - every second wasted - is devastating to Appalachia.
Help us stop King Coal before his big foot steps on another Appalachian community or flattens another mountain. Enough irreversible damage has been done already both to the people of Appalachia and to the mountains of Appalachia. If you can’t care about one - at least care about the other. Spread the word - STOP MOUNTAINTOP REMOVAL COAL MINING!!
