    Call, e-mail write and visit your legislators telling them YOU Support HB 0899, the Scenic Vistas bill prohibiting mountain top removal coal mining...Oppose HB 1619, a bill weakening state CAFO regulations which would have detrimental impact on our waterways...Oppose HB 0092, a bill allowing aging, polluting diesel school buses to wheeze through several extra years of life and further pollute our air...Oppose SB 0632 Southerland/HB 1615 McCord, a water quality weakening billopposed by all major environmental and conservation groups. It would allow degradation of our headwaters by lessening standards. Advocates should be writing Senate Finance committee members and House Environment subcommittee members in opposition to this bill!!!
