We made mini healing blankets. This project is suited for younger children, and shorter class time. The mini blankets were sent to Marshfork Elementary School in West Virginia. The school is next to a coal silo and coal prep plant, both of which threaten children with chemicals and coal dust. The school is just 400 yards downslope from a 2.8 billion gallon coal sludge dam and impoundment. If the impoundment were breached, there would be less than three minutes to evacuate the school. Up above all that is Massey Energy’s mountaintop removal mine, with the associated blasting and dust.
