In Lost Mountain, Eric Reece makes different kinds of arguments for stopping mountaintop removal coal mining. One major strand of his overall argument asserts the value of the unspoiled, “contiguous” forests of central Appalachia. What kinds of reasons does he offer? In your own words, describe this perspective, express his main points about this, and contrast this perspective with the one against which he argues. Then try to relate your own perspective to these--place yourself as best as you can in this debate. If you can, draw on your personal experiences in doing that, in the way that Reece does.
Your post should be in the neighborhood of 300 words. Go over if needed, but not by a huge amount. Edit and proofread. Please post this by class time on Monday.
