The Appalachian Mountains are crumbling from your energy consumption
One extreme version of coal mining called mountaintop removal actually blows up the summit of a mountain to recover the goods. This is not only devastating to the topography of the mountain but also to the people who live there. Sulfur released into the atmosphere pollutes rivers and consequently drinking water and your energy company could be to blame.
iLoveMountains.org is a website that will tell you instantly whether your energy supplier buys coal from a company that practices mountaintop removal. All you need to do is type in your zip code and trace the coal as it travels from Appalachia to your doorstep. There is further information available if you would like to contact your congressperson to put a stop to this type of mining.
