The National Council of Churches Eco-Justice Program sent the following action alert on mountaintop removal. Learn more about the EPA action on Eco-Journey.
Two weeks ago, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized a veto of permits for a new West Virginian mountaintop removal coal mine – the Spruce Number One mine.
After years of litigation and debate, the EPA said “no.”
• No to the destruction of God’s Creation.
• No to polluted water and choked waterways.
• And No to adverse health impacts and high rates of poverty in Mountaintop Removal communities.Click here to join us in saying Thank You.
