Comments from students at Alegheny College in Pennsylvania

"Dave Cooper's lecture was very educational and had a profound impact on me. Prior to this lecture, I had not even heard of mountain top removal, and now after listening to Cooper speak, it urges me to help stop it from occuring."

"The speaker was very good and very genuine. I am not sure if he would be willing to do this each year but I feel he did a wonderful job and should be invited back if given the chance. He had a good presentation and it was well worth my time."

"Prior to the presentation on MTR, I'd heard what was going on, but I had never seen any footage of the destruction. I found it absolutely disgusting ... Most outrageous in the case of MTR is that corporations claim they are improving the land; it never ceases to amaze me!"
