This Month's Sept. Wet Wednesday benefits Climate Ground Zero, a group fighting mountaintop removal coal mining in Appalachia.

Mountaintop removal coal mining is an atrocious form of strip mining that literally explodes the tops of mountains to get at coal buried beneath. To date, 500 mountains have been destroyed by this horrible practice, over 1200 miles of streams and rivers buried by it's debris and traditional Appalachian culture is being wiped out by the mining industry. Every week, the Appalachian Mountains are hit with more explosive force than was dropped on Hiroshima.
