Public comment needed. Three days left.
"Friday is the last day to voice your opinion on whether the EPA -- the Environmental Protection Agency -- should regulate carbon dioxide pollution, the primary cause of the climate crisis. This is a big deal.

The EPA is taking public comment, before making a ruling.

Of course, special interests -- like the oil and coal lobbies -- are working overtime to defeat a positive ruling and have already gotten thousands of comments submitted in opposition.

Most people don't know about this opportunity for public comment, so your voice can make a real difference. And with a new president in the White House, it's likely that someone will actually be listening. Submit your public comment to the EPA here:"

3. Done!
I like that the sample letter uses the term "climate crisis" rather than the rather misleading "global warming."

6. people don't know
To me it's the most beautiful place on Earth, and now acres and acres are flattened. Forests thousands of years old.. blow up for a few days of fuel.

The people I've talked to about mountaintop removal had no idea it was happening. One of them was my mom and she LIVES IN the Appalachians, the NC part. Some people just don't care but a lot of people don't even know.
