Heyn guys. I just gt this email and I'm sure yo will cry after reading this


Dear Nebal,



Firsthand account of the TVA coal ash dam failureJust before Christmas, the true cost and danger of coal became apparent in the town of Harriman, Tennessee.
On the morning of December 22, the earthen dam at the Kingston Power Plant containing coal fly ash failed catastrophically, unleashing a six-foot wall of toxic water and mud.
By the time the flood subsided, more than a billion gallons of coal sludge had damaged 15 homes -- three beyond repair -- before pouring into the nearby Emory and Clinch rivers.
In comparison, the Exxon Valdez spilled a "mere" 11 million gallons of crude oil. And the coal fly ash spill in Harriman is three times larger than the October, 2000 coal sludge spill in Martin County, Kentucky, which the EPA called "the largest environmental disaster east of the Mississippi."
Miraculously, there were no human injuries in last week's spill. Yet the Emory and Clinch rivers flow into the Tennessee River -- the primary water source for many Tennessee towns and cities, including Chattanooga. Coal fly ash contains heavy metals including lead, mercury, arsenic, chromium, and selenium. And though it will take years for the full affect of this environmental disaster to be known, iLoveMountains.org has teamed with the Upper Watauga Riverkeeper and the Waterkeeper Alliance to test the waters's of the Clinch and Emory Rivers for contaminants.

In short, the toxic coal ash spill at Harriman reveals what we've known all along -- there is no such thing as clean coal.
As Grist magazine points out, "there is no "clean coal" that doesn't produce millions of tons of toxic sludge, just as there is not yet any form of coal that doesn't send millions of tons of CO2 into the atmosphere."
Despite the spill at Harriman, TN, Big Coal and their lobbyists will be doing all they can in the coming year to convince decision makers in Washington that "clean coal" is the solution to America's foreign energy dependence. They'll do everything in their power to obfuscate the true cost of coal -- more than 470 mountains destroyed to date, thousands of miles of stream destroyed, and millions of pounds of toxic chemicals released into the environment and our nation's waters.
But we can beat these industry lobbyists -- and put an end to mountaintop removal coal mining in America -- if we keep up the pressure in the new year.
That's why I am turning to you today to ask for your generous support. As 2008 comes to an end, can you make a contribution of $50, $100 -- or the most generous amount you can afford -- to help iLoveMountains.org as we prepare for the big challenges and opportunities coming our way in 2009?

Your contributions to iLoveMountains.org supports the efforts of groups working to end mountaintop removal coal mining and to create a more sustainable and prosperous future for Appalachia -- and all of America.
I hope that you will consider iLoveMountain.org's leadership in the fight to end mountaintop removal coal mining worthy of your generous year-end support.
From all of us at iLoveMountains.org -- have a safe and Happy New Year.

Greetings from Oklahoma

Greetings from Oklahoma! I just got off the plane last night. I was supposed to arrive here yesterday morning but the plane was delayed. for 4 hours because of bad weather. The place is so flat, I almost saw the next state when we landed in Tulsa. We had to fly on a plane so small. It was about the size of a helicopter. Tulsa doesn't have a big airport so they only use tiny planes. I thought that we ride a big plane to Cincinnati then switch to a small plane but we rode to small plane to both. I still don't know why we switched planes if both of them were the same size. Now I get to see my cousins Dena, Lara (Don't even think about it Josh), Lily, Ream, Zeyiad, and Mazen. The air is so much cleaner here. It feels wonderful to breathe fresh air. My Mom just came form her 7 hour shopping spree. gotta go.

Christmas Time

Hey guys, I know I haven't post anything 4 a while because, well there's not much 2 say. I hope u guys had a wonderful christmas. Plus, u guys should remember that christmas isn't just about getting presents, it's about being with your family/friends and giving to others. Christmas can be about celebrating other things 2. This year we celebrated my uncle's new house and the birth of my new cousin Aiden. It's also about coming together as a family. Even though it was only my parents, siblings, aunt, uncle, and 2 cousins in that house, we all wanted to be together as a family. Since my family is HUGE, they live in different places, california, north carolina, guam, chicago, and of course, the philippines. So we sat there in the living room until 2 AM singing carols, taking turns opening presents, and calling every single family member.
Presents r nice too but, u should think about others who don't recieve many presents or none at all. that's y all churches ask for present donations 2 give 2 kids who r homeless and don't have a lot of money. So i want all of u guys 2 enjoy the rest of ur winter break and have a happy new year.

Christmas Parties

Hey, you won't believe what an amazing day I had. It all started in French class when I brought cookies to the French Christmas party. I ate so much today that I'm not gonna eat until Christmas. I had no idea how sweet these sweets taste. They are so sweet. (my parents won't allow me to eat their competition)So how do you celebrate the holidays? I spend the entire time trying to do some sort of charity but my parents wont let me. So I spend the time yelling at my brother.

Hey, is anyone reading this blog anymore?

Press the yellow higlighted words that say

END MOUNTAIN TOP REMOVAL

Bush is a terrible president, I heard he said

"For the benefit of the envirnment, I will only allow mountain top removal waste to be put in rivers"

Then your polluting the rivers stupid!
