But during the protest, something awakened inside me. Seeing Louis and his 9-year-old sister, Claudia, standing there made me want to stop the damage we are doing to the air, land and water they will inherit. The words of Rev. Jeffrey Barz-Snell resonated within me when he ended his address to the small crowd by saying, "We don't want our children to ask us in 10 years why we knew of the dangers of coal but didn't do anything about it."
