400 people living around a huge open cast mine near Konin, Poland, joined Greenpeace today to reclaim the land occupied by the mine, the second biggest in Poland, which threatens their homes and livelihoods. At noon, local residents together with 7 mayors from villages and towns that are facing destruction because of the mine's expansion, gathered at Greenpeace's Climate Rescue Station on the edge of the Jozwin II B pit, which is owned by KBW Konin.
