> 
> 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.
