Mary Ann Hitt and Appalachian Voices

Appalachian Voices Executive Director Mary Ann Hitt tells Betsy how now is the time for all of us to unite against the tragic practice of mountaintop removal and coal mining. Habitats, ecosystems, and cultures are at stake, and greed and our reliance on fossil fuels continue to be formidable opponents. May 12-16 is Mountaintop Removal Week in Washington, DC, and everyone needs to visit ilovemountains.org, where you can contact your congressperson, watch videos of mountains being destroyed, and view the incredible "National Memorial for the Mountains" on Google Earth.
