ニューヨーク・タイムズのインスタグラム(nytimes) - 8月22日 00時02分

@george_etheredge photographed Joshua Bates, 21, outside a house in Benham, Kentucky, where he was installing insulation. Benham was built a century ago as a coal mining camp by a subsidiary of International Harvester, which mined the nearby hillsides, extracting coal to make steel. Today, the signs of the coal industry’s decline are everywhere. The old company store is a mining museum. The brick schoolhouse is an inn (and it’s said to be haunted). Abandoned houses lay crumbling in the hollows. Yet on the spring afternoon that @ニューヨーク・タイムズ journalists visited Benham, something unusual was taking place: construction. It was part of a project to retrofit old houses — a small step toward economic growth that harms neither people’s health nor the land. To Joshua, though, it means a job in the region he calls home. “A lot of people have left,” he said sadly. “80% of my friends are gone.” This #nytweekender, we’re sharing the steps being taken toward a post-coal economy in #Appalachia.
