Problem: As I finish my college degree, I learn that the mountains behind my childhood home in the hills of Kentucky are slated to be mined for coal using the mountain top removal method. My parents, who still live there, are worried for their health and safety and do not want to lose the beautiful forested creek and ravine behind their property. However, my brother is out of work and could use a steady, well-paying mining job. What would I attempt to do in this situation?
