some kids tv presenter was talking to a former miner about how coal forms and the ex-miner said "coal takes 230million to form and we used all the coal from this mine in 130 years"
the presenter then proceeded to say "remember kids this is why you should recycle"

Who among us hasn't had to free a miner, who's neck was trapped in one of those 6 pack holder white plastic thingers? The grateful little faces, the two clear streaks down their face from the tears.....heartbreaking.
or maybe they meant to recycle, to use less energy and resources up in general, for the other unsustainable items we use every day
Typical childrens TV presenter
Nice to see they never change as you get older!
I dont get it? that statement makes sense?
It occours naturally and take zillions of years to make, plus how can you recycle something youve just burnt.
Silly Billy
he just said they should recycle
if you recycle plastics (some you can)
if you recycle paper
if you recycle any recyclable consumable and limited resource, you are helping save these resources, and also possibly in turn use less power to make new stuff, power that might even be made by burning coal or other fossil fuels
^^ what MrG said, the statement makes sense cause well I didnt see newsround but the way the psoter wrote it sounds like the presenter is saying recycle to avoid using up natural resources so quickly
It would have been wiser to say 'this is why you should save on heating and electricity'.
