Stop Mountaintop Removal Mining
Conference Call to Discuss Mountaintop Removal Mining and
How We Can Stop it, May 13, 2009
Last month Maria Gunnoe won the Goldman Environmental Prize for her work on mountaintop removal (MTR) mining, and then President Obama announced his aim of rolling back policies supportive of this kind of coal extraction. It is therefore a very important moment for this issue, so please plan to tune in to hear from some inspiring leaders where the issue stands, learn their strategy going forward and how you can help, and chime in with your own thoughts for how to end MTR.
Leading this discussion will be two activists who’ve won the Goldman Environmental Prize for their stances on MTR, Maria Gunnoe and Judy Bonds, plus Orion advisor/author David Orr, and others.
Whether you work to end MTR or not, please join us for this conference call scheduled for May 13th. Like climate change, this is a devastating environmental and social ill, one which we all should take action to end.
