You Can End Mountaintop Removal

Check out the new interactive website, I Love Mountains. It is a collaboration between 5 rad Appalachian environmental organizations and spearheaded by Appalachian Voices, intended to spread the truth about mountaintop removal.

You can pledge to end MTR, watch a couple informative and moving videos, see where all the removed mountains used to be (that’s awkward to even say!), and much more. It’s a good organizing tool.

This country definitely has to stop treating Appalachia as a national sacrifice zone. We owe it to the earth and our fellow citizens to take on this battle against mountaintop removal, in solidarity.
