CNN Heroes has nominated Larry Gibson, as one of 4 in the Defender of the Planet category. Gibson has been fiercely fighting mountain top removal from Kayford Mountain, West Virginia and you can watch the CNN clips from the original show here and here. Then you have until noon on Monday, October 8 to vote for him.
According to the rules, "the top vote-getter in each of the six CNN Hero categories will compete in an online vote starting Monday, November 12, with the winner honored at 'CNN Heroes: An All-Star Tribute'," which will take place Thursday, December 6. So assuming we spread the word and get him the win in this round, stay tuned for the next vote!
