We are all connected to the mountains...
In West Virginia and eastern Kentucky, coal companies blast as much as
600 feet off the top of the mountains, then dump the rock and debris
into mountain streams. Over 300,000 acres of the most beautiful and
productive hardwood forests in America have already been turned into
barren grasslands. Mountaintop removal mining increases flooding,
contaminates drinking water supplies, cracks foundations, and showers
nearby towns with dust and noise from blasting.
The Mountaintop
Removal Road Show features a beautiful and thought-provoking 22-minute
slide show with traditional Appalachian music and culture by Lexington,
Kentucky environmental activist Dave Cooper. Discussion to follow the
program.
