How Are You Connected?
For the past eighteen months or so, I've been working with the talented staff over at Appalachian Voices on the iLoveMountains.org campaign, using the web to raise awareness of the national tragedy that is mountaintop removal coal mining.
We've just launched a new webtool called My Connection that's worth checking out.
Ever think that mountaintop removal coal mining is just a regional issue, only effecting the people of Appalachia?
My Connection allows you to type in your ZIP code and find out if your utility sells electricity produced with coal mined from mountaintops in Appalachia.
Chances are, it does. No matter where we live, we're all connected. And that means we all have a responsibility to end mountaintop removal coal mining.
So check it out, and add your voice to the more than 23,000 Americans who have already pledged to end mountaintop removal.
