| National Campaign Launched To Raise Awareness of the Devastating Effects of Coal
“Simply stated, clean coal is a dirty lie,” said Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Chairman of Waterkeeper Alliance. “You don’t have to live in the coalfields or in the shadow of a coal-fired power plant to be affected by this filthy industry. Coal pollutes our water, our food and our bodies with toxic mercury, causes acid rain and demolishes ecosystems, and is grossly accelerating climate change.”
Information about the campaign and a petition to sign are available at The Dirty Lie.com
