Mission

The mission of Coal River Mountain Watch is to stop the destruction of our communities and environment by mountaintop removal mining, to improve the quality of life in our area and to help rebuild sustainable communities.

History

Coal River Mountain Watch (CRMW) is a grassroots organization begun in 1998 in response to the fear and frustration of people living near or downstream from huge mountaintop removal sites. We began as a small group of volunteers working to organize the residents of southern West Virginia to fight for social, economic, and environmental justice. From our humble beginnings, we have become a major force in opposition to mountaintop removal. Our outreach coordinator, Julia Bonds, was the 2003 Goldman Prize winner for North America. CRMW’s efforts figure prominently in Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s book Crimes against Nature. We have been active in federal court to challenge the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permits for valley fills and made regional news with demonstrations against a sludge dam and preparation plant near Marsh Fork Elementary School

Prof Higa, who developed EM, throwing EM bokashi balls in St George’s Dock, East London.

EM Bokashi Mud Balls are a mixture of clay, bokashi and EM which is mixed together and then
allowed to ferment before being dried. As a result, the mud balls are enriched with EM and
when applied to ponds or lakes they will slowly break down, allowing the EM to escape into the
water.

EM Mud Balls will both inhibit the growth of algae and break down any sludge and silt in the
pond - giving you beautiful clear and healthy water.

If you have fish in the pond, the EM Mud Balls will prove beneficial to them also, as the EM
will control ammonia levels and suppress any pathogens present.
