Coal is making a comeback in Pennsilvania. Coal is cheaper than oil and it heats houses better. Some people in Pa. think that using coal is not such a smart idea. When coal is burned it gives off natural gases that are affecting the Earth negitively.
In the New York Times, photographer Laura Pedrick took pictures of the town Coaldale, Sugarloaf, and Mahanoy City in Pennsilvania. In this photo essay, Pedrick tries to help us to see the good and bad in using coal to heat homes.
The 8 photo in the set is of a street in the town of Mahanoy City and a SEASONS GREETING sign hung over the street. The photo caption explains that this is the time of year when people need to heat their homes. I like this photo because it focuses on something that is not in the center of the photo.
