Mountaintop removal is exactly what it sounds like: Mining companies clearcut native forests and blow off mountaintops with explosives to uncover thin seams of coal, then dump millions of tons of the waste rock into the valleys below, permanently burying streams.

This devastating practice, the nation’s most destructive form of coal mining, poisons drinking water, lays waste to wildlife habitat, increases risk of flooding and wipes out entire communities.

Please urge your member of Congress to co-sponsor the Clean Water Protection Act (H.R. 2169), which would protect Appalachia’s streams by restoring the prohibition on using waste to fill streams and wetlands.

They said wrong.

Just a thought…Isn’t it ironic that an animal that could be so fierce is actually gentle, loving and carries the name “Christian”?

I traveled over to Andy Beard’s FreindFeed profile to see what was new in his world that I may not have seen.

I found this.

A story of a couple who’s son, now 20 months old, has what’s called, Leukodystrophy,  but instead of complaining about it , Matt (the father) is going to get his hands dirty by entering an ironman in Switzerland on July 13th, to raise money for The Myelin Project and European Leukodystrophy Association.
