Done. Thanks Daphna! We need to bring coal mining to a screeching halt. We must bring mountaintop removal to a faster screeching halt.

I've already actively been participating in this project with other sites, but did indeed sign, seal and send this NRDC submissal as well.

You cannot say, express or protest enough against the removal of a mountain's entire top. It is simply uncanny for me to comprehend how this activity even got a foothold.

Talk about not only in doing pollutant collateral damage to an environment, MTR totally erases an environment, ecology and biome completely off the face of a map...
