The Places We’re Saving
Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010
When we think about the fight to end mountaintop removal coal mining, it’s easy to focus on the more than 500 mountains in Appalachia that have already been lost.
While remembering the places that have been destroyed by mountaintop removal coal mining is important, in many ways the best way to honor the past is to focus on the future — and ensure that we don’t allow the coal industry to continue to destroy our mountains and communities.
That’s why we created the America’s Most Endangered Mountains video series — to show the world that the effort to end mountaintop removal coal mining is an effort to save some wonderful places.
From Ison Rock Ridge in Virginia to Gauley Mountain, West Virginia, the America’s Most Endangered Mountains video series highlights the people and landscapes at the heart of our movement.
If you haven’t checked out the series recently, please, take a moment to watch a few of the videos today:

And please, help us get the word out about the places we’re saving by sharing your favorite videos on email or Facebook.
Thank you for everything you do.
