https://secure2.convio.net/sierra/site/Advocacy?cmd=display&page=UserAction&id=5174After years of suffering and pollution, we finally have the chance to protect Appalachia's mountains, streams and communities from mountaintop removal coal mining!
The EPA is finalizing a new policy that could virtually stop this destructive practice.
We have until December 1st to let the EPA know that we support their efforts to protect Appalachia and end mountaintop removal coal mining. Send your message today!
Mountaintop removal mining not only buries Appalachia's waterways, it pollutes far downstream, threatening aquatic life, wildlife and communities. EPA's new policy will prevent mining companies from dumping their waste into streams.
Coal companies and coal state politicians are putting their profits first. They're doing everything they can to oppose the EPA's proposal--introducing legislation to block EPA's efforts.
The EPA needs your support now more than ever to put a policy in place that will prevent mining companies from threatening the health of people living downstream from mountaintop removal sites.
Congressman Nick Rahall from WV went so far as to say that he will work with lawmakers to "rein in" the EPA by defunding part of the EPA's process of making policy decisions.
Don't let Big Coal win! Tell the EPA you agree that it's time to protect Appalachia's mountains, streams, and communities from mountaintop removal mining.
