For the first time ever, we have a bill before the Virginia General Assembly to address mountaintop removal! The Stream Saver bill, SB 564, would end the burial of our headwater streams with strip mining spoil and curtail the destruction of our mountains.

On February 11-for the first time ever-a Virginia Senate committee will hold a special public hearing devoted solely to this issue.  Don’t miss this unique opportunity to show both the General Assembly and the state as a whole your support for protecting our mountains and streams from mountaintop removal! Join us on Thursday, Feb. 11 in Richmond for a RALLY FOR THE MOUNTAINS at 3PM and the Senate hearing at 4PM.

Fighting FOR Energy Efficiency:

Last year, your constituent phone calls made an impressive difference to legislators’ votes on efficiency legislation!

Please call your state senator now to express your support for SB 71, which creates an efficiency standard for state utilities! Click here for your senator’s phone number and a brief statement about the bill.

Effective energy efficiency measures can dramatically curtail energy use, reducing our dependence on destructive and polluting energy sources.  Click here to learn more.

Thanks for all you do for our mountains, water, and air. I’ll be in Richmond on Feb. 11 and I hope to see you there!
