As most of us know, coal is the end product of ancient decayed vegetation. As most likewise know, contemporary environmentalists contend that there is nothing more disgusting or unhealthy than ancient decayed plant life.
In fact, I suspect, that as local environmentalists take an autumn stroll through the colorful Appalachian mountains of Western Pennsylvania, their frightening jaunt will only help reinforce said supposition. Along the way, they’ll encounter alarming ghastly maple leaves, chestnuts, sassafras, pears, sunflowers, blackberries, apples, dandelions, and more.
