Feel kind of shitty about that? Well, you will feel worse once you watch these kids tell you more about how terrible mountaintop-removal mining is. Their pitch is this: “We’re children. We’re not scientists. But we understand what’s happening.” And if they can understand it, so can other, more grown-up people, like, say, President Obama.
