See the mountaintop removal mining video they'll be watching in Copenhagen
Attendees of the United Nations Climate Summit in Copenhagen will get a chance to watch a new Google video about the effort to stop mountaintop removal mining on Coal River Mountain in West Virginia and to build a wind farm there instead.
The environmental advocates at iLoveMountains.org are asking people to watch the video -- which uses innovative new Google Earth technology -- and send it along to friends and family.
They're also asking concerned citizens to e-mail their Senators and urge them to pass the Appalachia Restoration Act (S. 696). The legislation would dramatically reduce mountaintop removal mining, which adds to greenhouse gas pollution.
