What is Mountaintop Removal?
Mountaintop Removal (MTR) coal mining is an extreme form of surface mining that is causing large scale destruction of the Central Appalachian Mountains. It is devastating to the environment and to the people who must endure its effects. Mountaintop removal mining destroys diverse forests and habitats, cripples local economies, buries headwater streams, endangers the health of communities and is demolishing one of the oldest mountain ranges in the world.
Who is KFTC?
KFTC is a 29-year-old statewide grassroots citizen’s organization that believes in the power of people, working together, to challenge injustices, right wrongs, and improve the quality of life for all Kentuckians. Membership is open to all people who are committed to equality, democracy and non-violent change.
Your Role is Vital
At Heine Brothers’ Coffee, we’ve learned that when we work together, positive things can happen. We’d love for you to partner with us and KFTC to promote a more safe, sustainable, and prosperous economy in the Appalachian region. The next time you buy coffee, pick up a bag of Mountain Dream and be assured that your purchase is making a world of difference in the mountains and right here at home.
