Mountaintop removal activism resources

posted May 13, 2009

The Network's phone call today with mountaintop removal activists Maria Gunnoe and Judy Bonds referenced several actions to take to help bring this practice to an end. Websites that are particularly helpful and educational are:

ilovemountains.org - where you can learn where the coal which powers your home or office comes from, and whether it's from MTR, and ohvec.org - Ohio Valley Envi Coalition's web site shares suggested actions

Both Maria and Judy also suggested writing letters to President Obama and West Virginia's two Senators (Byrd and Rockefeller) and Rep Rahall, even if you live outside of WV, because they really need to hear that people in places where the MTR coal is used are against this practice.
