Composting animal waste isn't convenient for everyone, especially for those who live in a city. You can also consider getting biodegradable doggy bags.

What was the most surprising thing you learned from researching and filming Coal in America?

David, great advice on what the individual can do. Sometimes you really only have to take small steps to make a big difference.

James B., submitted the following question:
I am completely against using coal, as soon as we can replace it with more sustainable and healthy energy sources. The alternative sources include wind, solar, hydroelectric and geothermal power…Unfortunately, in the US, we are wasting huge amounts of money with tax relief for corn ethanol production. This, too, is bad for the environment.

So, how easy is it going to be to get rid of the corn ethanol subsidies and put resources into truly valuable alternative energy sources?

Do you have any specific energy sources you would like to see them transitioned to?

Do you think the miners are concerned about the U.S. reducing our use of coal and turning to alternative energy sources? Wouldn't these workers and their families could be out of a job and income, particularly in a state such as West Virginia?

Were the locals in West Virginia (including those not in the industry) generally for or against coal burning? How does that compare to those in Kentucky?

For your documentary, did you do any background research on coal mining in other states? What made you decide to focus on West Virginia?
