Beauty and devastation: MCC's Environmental Learning Tours in AppalachiaIn Eastern Kentucky, MCC offers two- to five-day learning tours to introduce youth and adults from across the United States to environmental issues in Appalachia — hoping participants will spread awareness about Appalachia's environmental threats and become more conscious of all the ways they can serve as stewards of God's creation. Half of the electricity in the United States remains powered by coal, a figure tour leaders use to remind people how lives across the U.S. connect to coal mining in Appalachia. Today in the mountains: Listen as an MCC environmental learning tour introduces students from Bethany Christian High School in Goshen, Ind., to the natural beauty and environmental devastation in Appalachia. 
The devastationStudents also see surface mining sites, comparing them to the natural forest they saw earlier in the trip. |
