Coal vs Fracking

Fracking and Coal, both killers of the environment this fact is true, but which one is more dangerous? Which one is more important to take care of?
    I say coal is, coal in it self if inhaled too much can cause a life threatning incurable disease know as Black Lungs. 




Coal not only caused for dangerous health risk but also sometimes the destruction of earth and property because of them having blow of mountain tops to get to the coal. This also makes coal mining areas very unsafe and unstable because while in the coal mines it could collapse and cave in causing multiple problems.

All the risk that Fracking puts out there coal also does like the pollution of water supplies, death of animals breaking of the earth, coal just has more impact to it. Not to mention the highly dangerous toxic solution that comes of from washing the coal called coal slurry. This coal slurry kills and pollutes anything thats around it including grasslands, waterbodies and water animals.

  2. Your photos make a good point and it helps show people whats going on. Where you highlighted "black lungs" it was hard to read because it was white writing on yellow highlight. You should have put more facts and explain everything more.

  3. Your photos helped me realize how bad coal really is. It shows how it is very deadly. I liked how you stuck to one side. But you could've provided more facts about fracking instead of just talking about coal.
