against mountain top removal

     Mountain Top Removal is a bad thing because it kills streams, people, and nature. It kills streams by waste coming off of the mountains and covering up the streams. It kills people by giving them diseases that will kill  them sooner or later. And besides the streams it kills all the fish, vegetation, and other animals around. Mountain top removal keeps our state from its full beauty. It does this by destroying our mountains and our natural wildlife and plant life. The coal companies only care about the money still they don't care about what the miners go through just to keep their job. Massey pushed the union out of West Virginia so they can put miners at risk like the Upper Big Branch Mine and they killed all those men because their safety standards weren't up to par and they weren't doing anything about it. They do as little as possible to protect anything other than themselves. This is why they shouldn't be allowed to remove our mountain tops. After they tear off our mountain tops they have to have somewhere to put their waste and so therefore once they dig up that Earth it will never settle the same and moves around so it will never stay were it was put. once they are done with a mountain they reforest it this would be a good thing other than the fact they don't use the type of trees that grow naturally there. This is why we don't need Mountain top Removal.
