The West Virginia Sierra Club is sponsoring a night of films about WV’s coal economy on Saturday, November 22, 2008 at The WV Cultural Center, Charleston. The film are about -   The Impact of Coal on Our Air, Water, Climate, People, and Communities. I have seen all of the films and they are all very well made.

Admission is FREE.  The films to be shown - Kilowatt OursThe AppalachiansMountain Mourning
