Here's a podcast of portions of the Mountain Top Removal Mining presentation given at UW-La Crosse on April 30th. It gives you a good overview of the devastation caused by this type of mining from people who live there.
Speakers included Sarah Vig from Appalachian Voices, Howard Branham, a resident of Mingo County West Virgina whose home was directly impacted by a mountain top removal mine and a representative from the Sierra Club's Madison, WI office. The podcast runs about 40 minutes.

Bike to Work Week, May 4-8
After a beautiful weekend for the La Crosse Fitness Festival, it's time to keep the momentum going. Plan to get your bikes out (if you haven't already) and bike to work this week. It's a great way to get some exercise, give your car a rest, save some money and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Remember to read more about all of the Bike to Work events and opportunities going on this week and log in your bike mileage at CouleeBikes.org.
