Thank the EPA!

The National Council of Churches of Christ's newsletter today asks all interested in protecting and preserving God's earth andGod's children to say a big, "Thank you!" to the EPA. Their email is quoted below:
"Join us in saying “Thank You” to the EPA for saying “no” to the devastation that Mountaintop Removal mining has on God’s Creation and God’s children.

Two weeks ago, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized a veto of permits for a new West Virginian mountaintop removal coal mine - the Spruce Number One mine. After years of litigation and debate, the EPA said “no.”
  • No to the destruction of God’s Creation.
  • No to polluted water and choked waterways.
  • And No to adverse health impacts and high rates of poverty in Mountaintop Removal communities."
If you would like to sign an electronic petition of thanks, surf on over to the NCC Eco-Justice page.
