Pledge to End Mountaintop Removal
Two of Tennessee's mountains are part of the ilovemountains.org "Most Endangered Mountains" series. The two videos below tell the stories of people effected by the horrible mountaintop removal process, which removes coal from Tennessee land to produce energy.
Pledge to help end mountaintop removal by visiting www.ILoveMountains.org, and submit your name to be included in a list of supporters. You will find the form in the top right corner of the site's homepage.
Walden’s Ridge TN Threatened
Wanda Hodge and her community won a "Lands Unsuitable For Mining" (LUMP) designation for the Rock Creek watershed, which is part of Walden's Ridge. This has kept the area safe for the past 20 years. But today, the threat has returned and coal companies are working hard to overturn the LUMP designation. If this were overturned the entire area of Walden's Ridge would be open to heavy mountaintop removal mining.
