Mountaintop Removal - Rainforest Action Network Campaign for Appalachia Mountains

http://causecast.org/ran

Rainforest Action Network's continues their campaign to end the Mountaintop Removal (MTR) of the Appalachia Mountains with a benefit to raise money and awareness. Obama and the EPA have not fulfilled their promises to end the coal mining process which 1) causes irreversible environmental impact, 2) has lost more than 10,000 jobs since the technique's inception, and 3) causes asthma, birth defects and cancer among Appalachian residents.

Thank you for all of your views and comments. This is a very important issue that we all need to address. We're fortunate to see an organization like RAN exist and we should help them help our environment !

Very Very true. If we leave this up to the companies they'll wipe out as many mountains as they can. We can't continue to allow these issues to go unnoticed, just because they aren't affecting you or your family at this moment doesn't mean that it isn't affecting someone else's life.

Time to stop this shit. Companies would do this all over China. It didn't matter where you were. Even near residential areas. The health of the people suffered so much. The environment just got destroyed. They did it for everything. Coal, marble, concrete you name it. MTR sucks.
