Saying 'NO' to Open Cast Mining
About 'Leave it in the Ground'
Leave it in the Ground has been formed to combat the new wave of open-cast mining, not just in Derbyshire but in other areas too:
South Wales, Northumberland, Leeds, Telford...as well as offering international support to Phulbari, Bangladesh.
The next wave of potential new coal power stations: Tilbury, Blyth, Ferrybridge, Longannet and Cockenzie. As well as existing power stations like Aberthaw, Kingsnorth, & Ratcliffe-on-Soar.
As climate change is getting more and more damaging, with the government's stance to build new power stations and the upsurge of open-cast mining devastating the landscape, we have to force them to have a rethink on the issue of coal as a source of energy.
