WNRN Wake-Up Call: Mountain Top Removal

Host Rick Moore talks with JW Randolph (Appalachian Voices Legislation associate) (in the studio) and Austin Hall (on the phone) (National Field Organizer) about mountain top removal. This practice has harmful effects on things such as the environment and human health. The process takes off tops of mountains to retrieve coal.During this process the material goes into bodies of water and pollutes them. However, many people argue that coal has been used for many things throughout the years and thus support mountain top removal.
