http://www.ilovemountains.org/memorial/c404/149 END MOUNTAINTOP REMOVAL COAL MINING IN APPALACHIA! Sat, 22 Nov 2008 12:42:31 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.3 http://www.ilovemountains.org/memorial/c404/149#comment-32749 ellen Tue, 29 Jul 2008 16:21:13 +0000 http://www.ilovemountains.org/memorial/c404/149#comment-32749 This is yet another tragedy of habitat destruction. How can this be stopped without simply pushing it onto another country? Perhaps there's a more conscientious way to mine for the coal that is apparently necessary to supply the energy needs of this country until such ideas as wind energy transmission lines from N and S Dakota wind mills to other parts of the nation can be instituted. Articles such as this I hope will at least serve to create more momentum for the far less destructive options for living on earth such as wind, solar, geothermal, small organic farms, sustainable ecological communities perhaps involving greater self reliance to limit cross country cross nation transportation at the same time making use of resource saving microtechnology to stay connected socially with the rest of the world and thereby become models for living with our connectivity in mind rather than living as we do now with so called "productivity" (read:"selfish profit") in mind.
