Mountaintop removal is a radical form of coal mining in which entire mountains are literally blown up -- and it is happening here in America on a scale that is almost unimaginable.
But mountaintop removal can be stopped -- with the help of people like you.
Our community of supporters has a lot to be proud of. At 132,446 strong and growing, we've been heard by Congress, moved regulatory agencies to action, and made sure the world knows that the days of destroying mountains for cheap coal are numbered. None of this would have been possible without YOU!
