April 26, 2008 University of New Hampshire Solar Fest. It was a cold blustery day, but that didn't keep the enthusiastic crowd away. My tent was set up with posters and hand outs about Mountain Top Removal Coal Mining for folks to learn about this devastating form of mining. We listened to live music as we ,made a healing blanket for Ed Wiley who has been working to raise awareness about the plight of the students attending Marshfork Elementary School in West Virginia. This school is located 200 feet away from a giant coal silo and impoundment pond with billions of gallons of coal slurry. If the damn breaks the students have 2 minutes to escape a wall of slurry moving at 50 miles per hour! This photo shows students laying down the wool fleece to create the tree on top of a sunset sky back ground. The blanket was sent to Ed to lay on the damaged earth of a mined area to help regenerate it.
