Governments use public pedagogy that includes the media and the internet, formal and informal sources of the media, to promote itself as an ecofriendly and people-caring. People who are using the coal as a business are becoming richer and richer, but the people who live in these areas (coal rich areas) are suffering from the environmental and health problems. People from these areas are not getting equal education facilities, proper environmental and health education. Governments in both counties are using coal to build economy at the expense of people’s health and well-being.
