Once a mountain which formed thousands of years ago becomes destroyed it can never be replaced. Not only do you destroy the habitats of upland plants, animals and organisms but the destruction of wetlands, streams, and rivers are included as well. Very sad for our environment and even sadder for the generations to come that may never see the mountain that once was.

I was at Climate Camp in Australia 2 weeks ago (www.climatecamp.org.au) and it was a beautiful, inspiring experience to see 1000 ordinary citizens supporting the 50 who walked onto the coal rail line, stopping the coal trains and getting arrested in the process.
