Most of you who know me have heard me talk about mountaintop removal coal mining (MTR). (If not, find out more here, and by clicking through to any of the partner organizations on this page.
But you live in California, Washington, Alaska, Massachusetts, New York, right? So what is your connection to the vile, reprehensible, wretchedness of MTR? Find out here by simply entering your zip code.
I know this runs the risk of sounding preachy, but seriously, think about it: when you leave that light burning, or buy the pretty but incredibly energy intensive halogen fixture from Ikea, or even take the elevator one floor when you could walk, YOU are connected to MTR.
Those of you who know me know that I use electricity. I'm typing this on my laptop, in an airport lounge, on a wireless connection. But I'm very conscious, all the time now, of my electricity use, and the true coast of coal. (We love the Bees!)
