Stop it in Appalachia. One stand, one mountain—it is just the beginning of reversing this destructive pattern.

Coal burning burns the air of Mother Earth and fills it w/CO2. When we cut down trees, they cannot convert the CO2 to Oxygen. When we cut down mountaintops, the mountains cannot gather the clouds to bring down the rain.

No mountaintop, no clouds. No trees, no oxygen. Low oxygen, too much carbon dioxide. Too much carbon dioxide, the Mother’s fever rises. If she dies, we do not continue. Stop mountaintop removal. Stop coal-fired plants. Curtail the driving. Plant trees. Save the Mother, save ourselves.
