David LaMotte was a speaker unlike the others I had seen this semester. He seemed to have more of a fine tuned since of purpose inhis line of work through his music, charity, and activism. some of the other artist, simple porposed their work but did not express the emotional dichotomy of the art for the world they are creating. David LaMotte has used his unique style of music to continue his lifestyle and maintain/advertise his charity for Guatamalan schools called Pegs Patnership.
His Pegs Patnership, that he showed a video to explain the workings of the organization, provided educational need to children where it was unavailible due to lack of ample schools and funding. He would raise money directly for the support of these areas and cause a change for good in the world.
He all empathesized the importance of causing a change which is actually very simpe, it is just a matter of finding the right thing to focus on.

Great topic. Mining is one of those industries that society needs, yet comes with quite a few externalities. What are these externalities exactly? How are they quantified into economic terms? What are these tradeoffs that Appalachian communities have to make?
