As the foreign owned coal companies decimate our land, we are been forced to become the volunteer environmental police force. Keep vigilant and report every environmental crime. This madness must end soon.

It's sad to think that our environment and nature are getting affected by mining activities. I am not against mining since this is a job, without mining people industry will surely suffer. However, the mining company should take responsibility and must be vigilant in maintaining the natural resources and nature. The company should take extra cautions in doing mining activities.
