Environmentalists are promoting their messages in schools and mining officials need to do the same, he said. Gerkin estimated the industry could reach 115,000 students if each of about 4,500 mines nationally adopted one school. The industry needs to play up the progress mining companies have made in land reclamation and the technological advances that have made mining and mining-related industries cleaner, he said. He said the industry also has future challenges with environmentalists who want to move toward renewable energy and with measures like the Kyoto protocol, an international agreement to cut greenhouse gas emissions. Mr Gerkin, why not teach good science in the schools and let it go at that.
Kids get much to much propaganda posing as truth from corporations in the name of greed as it is.
They don t need more of the same.
