Want To Know What YOU Can Do To Stop Mountaintop Removal?

The organizations partnering on iLoveMountains.org are all small grassroots groups in Appalachia, but ending mountaintop removal requires a national movement. That's why we need your help to get the word out across America about what's happening to the mountains and communities of Appalachia.

There are a couple of things you can do right now to stop the devastation of Appalachian mountains and communities - and to make sure that it's not being done in your name or with your money. Here's a list to get you started:

PLEDGE TO HELP END MOUNTAINTOP REMOVAL

Join the 36,563 people who are standing up against the destruction of Appalachian mountains and communities and who are helping to spread awareness of the other inconvenient truth about coal: mountaintop removal.

Help your friends find their connection - put an Are You Connected? BADGE on your website, blog or MySpace page.

TELL YOUR CONGRESSMAN: THERE OUGHT TO BE A LAW!

Ask your representative to support the Clean Water Protection Act - a bill that would curtail mountaintop removal and protect clean water for millions of Americans.

TELL YOUR ELECTRICITY PROVIDER: NOT IN MY NAME!

Select your electric provider from the list below, enter your name and e-mail, and hit submit to send a message that you don't want to be connected to mountaintop removal. A sample of the letter to be sent to your utility will pop up in another window after hitting submit.
