National Call-In Day to End Mountaintop Removal
Today is National Call-In Day. At the I Love Mountains website they’ve got a tool set up: enter your zip code and it gives you the phone numbers for your representatives. Call them and tell them they need to stop mountaintop removal, and that you support the Appalachian Restoration Act (S. 696) and the Clean Water Protection Act (HR 1310).
A similar tool helps you write to your representatives.
When you turn on the light switch, are you using dirty power from MTR? Find out here.
Curious how much coal money has flowed into the warchests of your own representativse? You can find that out here.
Have your own blog or website? Put the End Mountaintop Removal widget on your front page and spread the word.
