Help the People in this Community Stop the Destruction

HELP SPREAD THE WORD — Join thousands who are standing up against the destruction of Appalachian mountains and communities and who are helping to spread awareness of the other inconvenient truth about coal: mountaintop removal. |
 |
THEY’RE BLOWING UP OUR MOUNTAINS AND THERE OUGHT TO BE A LAW! Ask your representative to support the Clean Water Protection Act – a bill that would curtail mountaintop removal and protect clean water for millions of Americans. |
 |
TELL YOUR ELECTRICITY PROVIDER — “NOT IN MY NAME!” — Click on this link, submit your zip code and choose “Take Action” where you can print out a letter – tailored to your own electricity provider – asking them not to do business with companies engaged in mountaintop removal strip mining. |
 |

Greetings from the mtns of WNC,
Planning an earth day gathering at Cliffside in Rutherford County North Carolina where some of your mountain is burning. So very sorry. I pass on the address for the local paper The Daily Courier The Editor P.O. Box 1149 Forest City, North Carolina 28043 A first hand letter would help folks connect with another community. Duke is planning a new 800 mw plant here. We plan to gather to bear witness on earth day. I can send some flyers if I can get a local address.
Peace,
Abby

Unfortunately the processing plant did come. And today a sludge pond holding over a billion gallons of toxic slurry looms over the dilapitated community.
Most people have been forced to leave. But still some are left– there they remain engulfed by silica and coal dust,rattled by 100 ton coal trucks, doomed to rot in a once thriving community.
