Christian Groups Against Mountaintop Removal

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

A coalition comprised of 28 Christian groups sent a letter to the Environmental Protection Agency demanding that the organization take action to end mountaintop removal through the restoration of the Clean Water Act’s protections.

“As part of our call to be stewards of creation, we have a duty to use the land responsibly, to manage it so that it serves the good of all, and to protect it for future generations and for all life. Establishing the Clean Water Act rule is one step in doing that.”

-Jordan Blevins, Land and Water Program Manager for the National Council of Churches
