Coal Country (85 minutes)
Have you hiked in the Appalachian Mountains? This beautiful region is being destroyed, mountain by mountain, by coal mining. "Modern" methods take shortcuts not envisioned by coal miners of the past--the heavy machinery removes the whole top of the mountain! Toxic chemicals used by present day mining corporations inflict further damage on the community and the environment. Learn more about this and how your choices can help.

Presented by Future Visions film and discussion series. The Future Visions Film/Discussion Series was created by Sierra Club NYC Group, Neighborhood Energy Network, Beyond Oil NYC, and Tri-State Food Not Lawns as a vehicle to educate and then engage people in discussion about environmental issues. In partnership with local groups, the Future Visions series is being presented in locations throughout New York City.
