I would like to get permission to use your photo of mountain top mining shown on this page:
https://ohvec.org/high-resolution-mountaintop-removal-pictures/04-9/?gal_slug=/high-resolution-mountaintop-removal-pictures/
I am writing a Quaker Pamphlet on Clean Energy and this image is perfect. I am making the point that the average American home uses about 4 tons of coal electricity a year, but this is dwarfed by the unseen 80 tons of habitat, soil, rock and trees that are being bulldozed into the streams and valleys of WV to get that coal.
The image will be in black and white. These pamphlets are published by our Quaker non-profit Pendle Hill pamphlets library and are usually about 9000 words.

Both emails bounced to vivian@ovec.org and to info@ovec.org
