Degrading Earth
Coal mining is about the same as prostitution. The producers/providers have a source of income, and the consumer/customer enjoys some dubious benefits, but neither is particularly good for society. The two professions are examples of immoral economic activity. One degrades human beings while the other degrades Mother Earth, two of God’s greatest creations.
He must look down and weep.
