Check out the newest online organizing tools from iLoveMountains.org:

America's Most Endangered Mountains Videos

The map based video series highlights the vibrant and indelible culture, stunning biodiversity and enormous economic potential of Appalachia, as well as the mining that threatens it. The interactive map showcases 10 mountain communities facing a future where their natural heritage is at risk of being blown up by mountaintop removal coal mining.

Everyone who watches will be asked to spread the word and support the featured community. The videos are easily emailed, or embedded on any blog or webpage.

The Blogger's Challenge

A one stop shop for anyone interested in writing about mountaintop removal, especially bloggers. At their fingertips, they have embeddable video, coal tracking widgets, news and blog post headline tickers, and customizable "Spread the Word" widgets. Anyone can "Add America's mountain majesty to your blog, and help stop mountaintop removal coal mining once and for all!" Most importantly, the headline ticker widgets make it extremely easy for bloggers to keep up with news and blog conversations about MTR. These tools will encourage and incubate a community of concerned bloggers to collaborate and take action.
