Using Google Earth to See Destruction

Posted by samzenpus on from the mr-peabody's-coal-train-has-hauled-it-away dept.

An anonymous reader writes "On Monday, an environmental advocacy group [Appalachian Voices] joined with Google to deliver a special interactive layer for Google Earth. This new layer will tell "the stories of over 470 mountains that have been destroyed from coal mining, and its impact on nearby ecosystems. Separately, the World Wildlife Fund has added the ability to visit its 150 project sites using Google Earth."

    You stick to your WoW and your linux - there's better people than you securing your freedoms. As long as you're in your own delusional little world, dreaming about Big Oil conspiracies and moon landing hoaxes, you can't do any damage to our efforts.
