THanks for this. I too applaud those 5 individuals for truly standing up for what they believe in. Looking at the pictures leaves me feeling an incredible sense of disappointment that I couldn’t have actually been right there with them and helping the cause. True spirits. Thanks everyone!

I just finished reading your article about the student’s protest of mountain top removal in West Virginia. I teach environmental science at our academy and this article was both timely and disturbing. My students are now conducting round table discussions about the harmfull effects of MTR mining. Most of the information they are using comes from articles researched on the internet. Thanks for the article.
The disturbing part was the reaction of the mine company and local officials to deal with the school in danger. Out schools are far more important than one small MTR operation. Shut the damn thing down. Who controls the local officials, the mine owners or the citizens of the area. I can’t imagine anyone even considering moving the school instead of shutting down the mine. Seeing the danger to the school has already been created by the mining operation, moving them is probably the best solution now. Shame on the mine owners for allowing this potential tragedy to occur.
