GRITtv: Senior Citizens March to End Mountaintop Removal

In West Virginia this week, at least 28 senior citizens between the ages of 50 and 88 marched in opposition to the destructive process of mountaintop removal coal mining. In addition to environmental concerns, they stressed the union miners' battle to get their jobs back and the fact that normal mining creates more jobs than mountaintop strip mining. The peaceful walk was 25 miles long and was covered by many local media outlets. Thanks to Mobile Broadcast News for the video!
