Coal pollution in South Baltimore

A group of teenage climate activists in South Baltimore are fighting against the pollution caused by coal trains and a coal export terminal in their neighborhood. The coal is brought in from nearby coal mining areas and shipped from Baltimore to destinations worldwide. The opposition movement is led by young people of color in the community who are concerned about the health effects of coal dust and the environmental impact of fossil fuel reliance. The activists have been organizing for over a decade, fighting against the construction of a waste incinerator and now focusing on getting coal out of their neighborhood. They have been gathering evidence of coal dust pollution, advocating for stronger regulations, and demanding compensation for the impacted community.
