Yesterday was a historic day for our nation. And like millions of others across America, those of us here at iLoveMountains.org watched the inauguration with a mixture of hope for the future and awe at how far we’ve come.

But we know that we still have a lot of work to do if we are going to stop mountaintop removal coal mining and achieve a clean energy future for our nation.

That’s why iLoveMountains.org is joining with a nationwide network of clean energy and justice advocates for 100 Days of Action to Power Past Coal:

https://www.powerpastcoal.org/

Beginning today and continuing until April 30th — the first 100 days of the Obama administration — Power Past Coal will organize national actions calling on President Obama and Congress to ensure a clean energy future for America.

Today, people from all over the country and all walks of life are calling the White House, asking Obama to invest in real solutions to our energy and environmental crisis — clean, renewable energy.

Here at iLoveMountains, we’re hoping to get Congress to power past coal during our 4th Annual End Mountaintop Removal Week in Washington, from March 14th-19th, 2009.

Please consider joining us in Washington to meet your representatives and ask them to stop the destructive practice of mountaintop removal coal mining.
