Join the conversation on our Facebook page, and help us act to protect our community from coal. Along with a broad group of local stakeholders, we have begun a petition drive (look for an online version here next week) to urge local decision makers to put our land, air and water first.
Today Stand Up To Coal partnered with Salt Fork Friends, the Salt Fork River Runners, and Prairie Rivers Network to release the video “Questions for Sunrise Coal”.
In the video, concerned rural residents, farmers, and villagers ask what will happen if Sunrise Coal moves forward with their proposal to open a coal mine in Vermilion County: What will coal mining mean for clean water? The health of our residents? The economic vitality of this area for future generations?
