  The following email was sent to us by Sarah McConaghy, age 12 from Ballymoney.
  
  I live about half a mile from the proposed site of the lignite mine. If the application for the mine is accepted then my daddy, a farmer, will not be able to graze his cattle and sheep anywhere near our home. Lignite fumes are also terribly bad for human and animal health. I really hope the mine never comes as it will affect people as far away as Scotland! This will destroy Ballymoney's beautiful, rural landscape, it will give off many fumes adding greatly to the problem of global warming and thousands of God's creatures will either lose their homes or be killed! So if you ever see your chance to put in a vote against lignite; use it!
