Coal Cares Site, A Brilliant Hoax Of The Coal Industry

Does a new website from the world’s largest coal company gives away Justin Bieber-themed inhalers to combat asthma from coal? Today, Peabody Energy –the largest private coal company in the world–launched Coal Cares , a website giving away free, Justin Bieber-themed inhalers to asthmatic children and providing other, pro-coal info to kids everywhere. Yes, coal gives people asthma, but it’s still the “safest energy out there.” There are word searches, a Kidz Koal Korner , and a promise that “for every 1,000 inhaler actuators donated via Coal Cares™, Peabody will make a $500 donation towards the cost of one lung-replacement therapy.” It’s also totally fake.
