CHARLESTON (AP) — Annual spring break outings aimed
at educating and training environmental activists will focus this year
on the downsides of coal mining in Virginia and gas drilling in West
Virginia.
Mountain State Justice Spring Break targets college
students who want to learn about extractive industries. But it's open to
any concerned citizen. It explores why Appalachia is a rich land with
poor people.
The first event is March 1-10 in the historic mining
town of Appalachia, Va., in a region heavily affected by mountaintop
removal coal mining.
The West Virginia spring break follows March
10-17 near West Union in Doddridge County, an area surrounded by
gas-drilling operations.
Both events offer education, community service, lectures, hiking, music and the chance to engage in direct action.
