Burning coal is a part of daily life in Poland. As a result, the country has some of the most polluted air in the European Union, and 33 of its 50 dirtiest cities. The problem? The country’s love affair with coal. In all of the European Union, 80% of private homes using coal are in Poland. Commonly referred to as “black gold,” coal is seen as a patriotic alternative to Russian gas. But some 48,000 Poles are estimated to die annually from illnesses related to poor air quality. And Greenpeace estimated that 62% of Poland’s kindergartens are in heavily polluted areas. In response, the government announced that it will spend $8.8 billion by 2028 to combat smog. Still, many are not optimistic things are headed in the right direction. In Belchatow, where @macieknabrdalik took this photo, Poland maintains Europe’s largest coal-fired utility plant, at the edge of a coal mine 8 miles long and 2 miles wide. It shows no signs of slowing, and continues to belch out carbon at an astounding rate. It’s the largest carbon emitter in Europe. Follow @macieknabrdalik to see more in his Instagram Story.
