I Love Mountains Day 2010

The movement to end mountaintop removal is large and each of us has a place in it. Some of us risk arrest, others share knowledge with children and church groups, still others attend rallies, write letters, make phone calls and more. It takes all of these pieces to make our movement whole. All of us are responsible for helping to save our land and protect our communities.

Please join us on Tuesday, February 14^th for I Love Mountains day to continue calling for an end to mountaintop removal and asking our leaders to share a vision for the solutions that Kentucky so desperately needs. Help us call on Governor Beshear, our state legislative leaders, and even our leaders in Washington D.C. to serve the public interest by ending mountaintop removal and looking towards a clean energy future that provide good, safe jobs and health communities.

The theme of this year's rally will be examining the drastic negative health impacts of surface mining on people who live near mining operations. A recent study estimates that mining could be responsible for 60,000 additional cancer cases in people who live near mountaintop removal sites. To raise awareness about this study and to highlight the potential of the Clean Energy Opportunity Act, we are asking that everyone who attends the rally this year bring (or build) a pinwheel.
