Every eleven and one-half days, the explosive equivalent of the Hiroshima atomic bomb is unleashed upon the mountains of southern West Virginia and eastern Kentucky - for coal.

The Third Thursday Environmental Film Series at Ruta Maya Coffee House continues 6-9 pm, Thursday, June 19, with Burning the Future: Coal in America, a powerful, stirring account of how people living in West Virginia faced with toxic ground water and the obliteration of 1.4 million acres of mount

ains courageously take a stand to save their beloved mountains, their homes, their health and their communities. This film by writer/director David Novack, is one of the best environmental documentaries I have seen. 

The evening begins with music at 6 pm, film at 7 pm and panel discussion at 8 pm.

 The Environmental Film Series is hosted by Clean Water Fund as a fundraiser for the organization's environmental research and education programs. The event is free -- donations of $5 and more are gratefully accepted. For information about sponsoring the film series, contact Vicki Wolf or David Foster at 512-474-0605.
