Mountaintop Removal
The Mountaintop Removal presentation includes a stunning 22-minute slide
show about the impacts of mountaintop removal on coalfield residents,
communities and the environment, and features traditional Appalachian
mountain music and shocking aerial photos of decapitated Appalachian
mountains.
In West Virginia, Virginia, Tennessee 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 of nearby homes, and showers towns with dust and noise from
blasting.
There is no charge for the presentation; however donations and honorariums
to defray gas and travel expenses are gratefully accepted.
