Coal is a black or brownish rock that comes from ancient plants that got buried under the ground millions of years ago. Coal is mostly made of carbon, which means it can burn and produce a lot of energy. People use coal for many things, like making electricity, heating their homes, and making steel. Coal is very common and cheap, but it also causes a lot of problems for the environment and human health. When coal burns, it releases smoke and gases that pollute the air and contribute to global warming. Coal mining can also be dangerous and damage the land. Some people think we should use less coal and more renewable energy sources, like solar or wind power.

Great Coal product, you’re selling! I’m getting 3-different ” grades” (sizes) of coal, from sifting through 2 different ” meshes ” of screen, just like the REAL coal mines do! I start by using an old, second-hand Blender, then, screen it from there… yours is at the upper right… The coal left over from the two siftings, is still a little too big, so, I’ll just toss it back into the blender!
