 Educating
Your Legislators A Key to Getting Action on Sludge Issues
Several studies have been released this past year on
health, sludge and living in the coalfields.
People are suffering from bad water, disease and unsafe
living situations near dangerous coal waste impoundments. This is
not acceptable.
There are ways to process coal that are safer and
produce less waste. Its up to us to make sure our representatives and
senators have the facts. Call their offices or homes today and set up
meetings. We are here to help you get ready, but you are the person they
need to hear from. You can find your legislators contact information
online at www.legis.state.wv.us.
