The 4-Fold Attack: Google Earth+ YouTube + Online Pledges + Willie Nelson
Did you know that more than 450 mountains have been destroyed, and over 1,000 miles of streams have been buried by mountaintop removal coal mining?
Appalachian Voices, Coal River Mountain Watch, Keeper of the Mountains Foundation, Kentuckians for the Commonwealth, Ohio Valley Environmental Coalition, Save Our Cumberland Mountains, and Southern Appalachian Mountain Stewards have created the I Love Mountains campaign to stop mountaintop removal.
Supporters can:
1. Sign a pledge, track the impact of their pledge on a map, and possibly be listed as one of the campaign's Most Active Participants (people who have passed the email on to the greatest number of friends).
2. Download Wille Nelson singing Bob Dylan's "Blowing in the Wind."
3. Watch a movie about mountaintop removal on YouTube.
4. View the National Memorial for the Mountains on Google Earth. Each flag represents a mountain that has been destroyed.
They definitely have a great Buzz Director. Check out all the press they've gotten.
