Calculate your distance to the proposed Titan plant

Many of you may already be familiar with a campaign the NC Conservation Network has been working on with our allies--the Stop Titan campaign. From our Action Alert page:

"The Titan Cement Company plans to construct a coal fired cement plant and limestone mine adjacent to the Northeast Cape Fear River in New Hanover County, NC. The plant would emit toxic mercury and the mining operation would destroy over 1,000 acres of NC wetlands."

There is also a website with lots more info about the campaign: www.stoptitan.org. Their site has a built-in map tool that allows you to input an address and find out how far it will be from the proposed plant, and outlines some of the possible effects people at that distance might experience from the creation of the proposed plant. For instance, when I input our office address, it said that we are "106.7 Miles NW of the stack. When the wind blows in the general NW direction, the stack gasses and pollution will blow directly at you." While you're calculating your distance from the proposed stack, notice how many schools are located less than 10 miles from the proposed location.
