  • From the Coal River Valley to Washington, DC 8 Mar 2010 | 4:17 pm Student Environmental Action Coalition blogs

    Post By Junior Walk, Whitesville, Coal River Valley, West Virginia

    Hi, my name is Junior Walk, and my family has lived in the coal fields of southern West Virginia for generations. It pains me to see my heritage destroyed and defamed, and to see my friends and family poisoned by unclean water. So, I decided to take a little trip to Washington D.C. to put a stop to it.

    Today, I’m in out nations capitol to stop the heinous practice of mountaintop removal coal mining. I’m here with the Alliance for Appalachia, as an employee of Coal River Mountain Watch,I’m here as an environmental activist, I’m here as an affected coal field resident, but I’m mostly here as someone whom cares about people, and all other living things.

    My meetings today were cordial, I met with the offices of three different congressmen. The first one was on the fence about the clean water protection act, the second one will probably co-sign, and the third was already a co-signer. I think we’re making serious progress here, we already have more than 150 co-signers, and we only need 40-50 more co-signers.

    When this bill becomes a law, it will effectively end mountaintop removal by making valley fills illegal (which they were in the first place). This would greatly benefit the people of Appalachia, save lives, and open up mountains like Coal River Mountain for use as wind farms.

    So, here I am, I’ve never been into any city, never really had any experience outside of my neck f the woods, and I’m walking up the stairs to the legislature to talk to our representatives about what’s going on in out back yards.
