"The advocates of coal need to feel in their guts the devastation caused by mining coal, along with mining's obvious carbon releases. This powerful website with its videos, etc. is worth seeing and taking action. Reducing energy use seems to make more sense." Editor
Personal ACTION: You Can End Mountaintop Removal
Mountaintop removal is a radical form of coal mining in which entire mountains are literally blown up -- and it is happening here in America on a scale that is almost unimaginable. Mountaintop removal is devastating hundreds of square miles of Appalachia; polluting the headwaters of rivers that provide drinking water to millions of Americans; and destroying a distinctly American culture that has endured for generations. But mountaintop removal can be stopped -- with the help of people like you. The "I Love Mountains" campaign is a perfect example of this.
