Have you been a naughty boy or girl this year?
If so, you may find a lump of coal in your stocking come Christmas morning.
Fortunately for you, these lumps of coal will help scrub away the dirtiness of the past year.
How? Because they’re actually all-natural handmade soaps from some really creative Etsy-ers.
Mirror, mirror in the mine, what’s the dirtiest lie of all time?
The answer to that question is, “that coal based energy can EVER be clean.”
That said, sometimes the question of clean coal isn’t always so simple…and is actually usually quite complicated.
But we’re not going to dive into the intricacies of the clean coal discussion right now. No, no, no….we’re going to show you some lumps of coal that can actually get you clean!
