Not my East coast. But I have found someone who has promised me hardwood charcoal in tiny pieces.He makes it himself. It's been a bit wet lately so I haven't heard from him & don't know costs icluding freight yet.
Some nice condo pictures here

I don't know how to paste them here
The fullerene is my choice if I were more of a bacteia/bug whatever
Same site this was an interseting note
A new (fifth) allotrope of carbon was recently found. It is a spongy solid that is extremely lightweight and, unusually, attracted to magnets. The inventors of this new form of carbon -- a magnetic carbon nanofoam-- say it could may someday find medical applications (see review article from Nature)
This is interesting too. Especially in light of the global warming debate

Another important part of the study was an estimate of carbon content in bacteria. Carbon, of course, is a crucial element in numerous natural processes, so knowing the amount of it could contribute substantially to knowledge of carbon cycles.
Scientists assume that carbon in the bacteria that live in soil and subsurface takes up about one-half of their dry weight.
The team thus found that the total amount of bacterial carbon in the soil and subsurface to be yet another staggering number, 5 X 10**17 g or the weight of the United Kingdom.
Rather surprisingly, the group at Georgia found that the total carbon of bacteria is nearly equal to the total carbon found in plants.
