The Appalachian Faith and Ecology Center connects people of faith to the current issues impacting the ecological integrity of Central Appalachia:

Devastation of the Ancient Forests

Its mountain forests like lifeless piles of "raw material" to be stripped and shipped off elsewhere to feed the consumer society.

Coal Mining

Its empty coal mines like forgotten and meaningless pits to be filled with endless garbage from the consumer society.

Unemployment

Its unemployed people available as cheap labor to guard the countless imprisoned people, themselves cast off by the consumer society.

Addictions

Air and Water Quality

Health of the Land and Its People
