Alabama is a beautiful
state blessed with abundant natural resources. As citizens, and
stewards of what we have been given, we must ensure our heritage is
not sold out from under us by those who have little or no interest in
the long-term impact of their industries on our communities and our
environment. We believe a quarry sited adjacent to the Saugahatchee
Creek in a primarily residential area can only have a detrimental
effect on our larger community. If this action -- initiated by an out-of-state company that has no concern for the well-being of Alabama, or Alabamians -- succeeds, you can consider this picture the "before" photo, that will soon be replaced with the likes of what has happened to Chewacla Creek at the hands of the Martin-Marietta quarry , or Springvilla at the hands of Hanson quarry. We cannot allow our legacy be traded for a truckload of rocks. Join us in our fight to stop this, and other, quarries from stealing your quality of life. We invite you to find out more about quarries, and Florida Rock, and learn how you can assist in this very important effort to retain what is rightfully yours.
