"THE HUMAN TOLL: MOUNTAINTOP REMOVAL MINING"

Makayla Urias, age 5, holds blueberries just picked from a bush on her family's land which is surrounded by mountaintop removal sites. Rully Urias says that this form of mining is destroying his family's way of life. He once was able to go up into the mountains with his family to pick raspberries and blueberries, but those bushes are slowly disappearing as the land is mountaintop mined.
