Protect Appalachia's Water from Mountaintop Removal Mining!
For many people living near mountaintop removal coal mining sites in Appalachia, the water they are forced to use for bathing, cooking, and even drinking is cloudy, brown, and toxic.
Years of mountaintop removal coal mining have buried 2,000 miles of local streams with waste from Big Coal's destruction -- many of the streams that are left are devoid of life. Well water in the area isn't safe either, and it's making people sick.
Tell President Obama and the EPA that everyone deserves clean water. Urge them to act now to protect Appalachia from mountaintop removal mining!

EVERYONE LIVES DOWNSTREAM FROM EVERYONE! You poison some water in one area and cause a ripple effect to such an immense degree. Stop raping our Earth for profits and have some respect. You wouldn't have life with the Earth. Do what you are responsible to do in order to save our environments, water, and future generations.

It is a travesty. When I went down to Phelps Kentucky with Merle Wolford back in the mid 80's there was a lot of damage then. They were starting to fill in the Mountain valleys with a slurry mix of cement and ash from coal fired electric plants--ugly in deed, besides being another source of radioactive, and heavy. This is why I join hands with all those standing against the reapers who are in shameful ignorance or smug denial of their Earthly/Cosmic connection & dependency. They would reap...

They would reap to fill their personal void, leaving present and future generations, (including their own progeny), with the shaft! It is absolutely pitiful. No it's not time to mine and dump on Wisconsin; it's time change mind sets!!! What a wonderful Wisconsin, what a beautiful Earth. S0 worth our efforts--we will prevail, staying connected to one another and our Higher Source . . .Many Good thoughts/prayers; Love to All. ~ Karen Harvey
You would think 'they' had learnt not to do this by now.
There are better ways of mining coal and much less destructive to our water systems.
