Description: To see more of this series goto - www.VBS.tv Meredith Danluck is a New York artist, director, and all-around amazing person who has a killer collection of power tools. VBS bumped into her a few months ago and discovered that she has been working on a film in West Virginia, a sort of impressionistic account of the current environmental catastrophe in the Appalachian Mountains. Mining companies are destroying entire mountains in order to get at the coal inside them. Quickly and efficiently, the oldest mountain range in the world is being systematically obliterated. We sent Meredith and VBS correspondent Derrick Beckles to the hills and hollers of West Virginia to show us what the end of the world looks like.

Methadone4Life ::: Favorites I was raised by a man who was a prep plant supervisor,so I am not an outsider and I do not hate coal mining. I hate STRIP MINING. I have watched my area have the largest 4 floods ever in the past 10 years. It floods almost yearly now! The beautiful hills that most of the people bitching about environmentalists actually hunt and fish in and around..are being destroyed! 07-09-02 14:54:14 __________________________________________________
t6393a ::: Favorites Coal mines do lie alot to. I live in WV and I can see what they're doing. They're coming through the town i live in and soon the whole town might be gone. And my teacher used to work for them and told us stories of how he had jobs like getting in the ohio river and putting mud in the coal so the person buying it would pay more. 07-08-11 13:04:53 __________________________________________________
