Six action-packed days in the mountains! Overcrowded mountain huts, little sleep, physical exertion at over 3000 metres — it's an incredible experience! Why? Because sunrises in the mountains are magical, I was able to climb a 4000-metre peak again, make new friends and push my own limits. I'm tired, but I would be ready to get going again right away!

But it's raining today... 😉

#MountainTopRemoval explained on the #ILoveMountains site. An hour-long conversation about the environment, pollution as #公害 #CommonsDamage got me to remember Appalachia. I used to see stuff from this organization a lot but it's been years. A researcher in Japan seemed to be under the impression that only #China did stuff like this in #Indonesia. It's been a while but I've read about #MultiNationalCorporations committing environmental crimes for #Bauxite profits.

Learn more about mountaintop removal coal mining

Mountaintop removal is a relatively new type of coal mining that began in Appalachia in the 1970s as an extension of conventional strip mining techniques. Primarily, mountaintop removal is occurring in West Virginia, Kentucky, Virginia and Tennessee. Coal companies in Appalachia are increasingly using this method because it allows for almost complete recovery of coal seams while reducing the number of workers required to a fraction of what conventional methods require.
