Without coal we will lose our jobs, then our electric bill will triple, and the trickle down effect will destroy our lively hoods here in the mountains

Hi , what can we do to help out? I was born in Tennnessee and my mom is from stonega virginia and her family has a land grant up in the hills there by the va and kentucky line. We moved to Texas when I was 4 but my love for that part of the country is still in me. How can we help?

It’s a shame to this great country ! For a little coal we remove thousands of years natrual beauty , destroy the creeks and streams . Many of which provide fresh clean water to our friends and families .Remove the only place some animals have as a home and leave them without shelter, food and water. Some species of plants may very well be wiped out before we ever learn all the wonderful use they can provide to aid in the fight against illness that is so wide spread these days. We should be trying to save these natrual resorces instead of destroying them. I will agree that coal has it’s uses , but there are other less harmful to the land the air the earth things we can use and stop destroying peoples homes , mountain folk and country people live a diffrent way of life. With respect and thankfulness for all the wonders and beauty God has blessed us with. I think it’s time we take a stand against those who destroy for nothing more than profit, before there is nothing left to fight for.
