Stop the ongoing coal industry destruction of Appalachia.
Why is this important?
Many of my remaining family members live in Eastern Kentucky and for decades have experienced the destruction of forests, animal habitats, streams and people's physical and mental health deteriorate as a result of deep and strip mining coal removal to the last ton. Now entire mountain tops are removed with little or no environmental damage assessment. Ancient peaks of exposed rock formations destroyed while potentially releasing ancient bacteria and molds further exacerbating human health.
