Dear
Thank the EPA for Protecting |
After 12 years of hard work, it's official. Today the EPA announced that it will veto Spruce Mine No. 1 -- one of the largest mountaintop removal mines ever proposed for Appalachia!
Since 1998, Sierra Club along with Coal River Mountain Watch, WV Highlands Conservancy, the Ohio Valley Environmental Coalition, Public Justice and the Appalachian Center for the Economy and the Environment have fought hard to stop Spruce Mine.
This year alone, Sierra Club members and supporters like you sent almost 37,000 messages to the EPA urging them to protect the seven miles of streams and 2,000 acres of mountains that Spruce Mine would have destroyed.
This victory proves that when we put our minds to it and work together, we can stop Big Coal and their attempts to profit from destroying our environment and threatening our health.
Show the Obama Administration how excited we are that it is taking a major step to protect our mountains.
Thanks again for all you're doing to protect our environment.
Sincerely,
Mary Anne Hitt

P.S. We need as many people as possible to take action to ensure that the EPA keeps up their good work to protect our mountains. Forward this email or spread the word with our handy share buttons below:
