If the destruction of God's beautiful mountains weren't enough, Mountain Top Removal Coal Mining (MTR) destroys with flash fluds, mud slides, toxic ground water, and toxic air, just to name a few.

The Greed of coal mining companies, such as Massey Energy Company have left the people of Appalachia with few options. They can't sell their land for what it was once worth. Who wants to live in a war zone? Many have lived in these areas for generations and wouldn't consider moving. So, what are they to do? Sit around and let the coal mining companies have their way? NO! They fight!
