Ep 6. Coal: a miners perspective

Greetings climate freaks!
This week we brought you a recording from a forum held at Sydney Uni, updated you on world environment, introduced the Students of Sustainability conference and had a bit of a chin-wag over the latest climate change news.

Coal, a miners perspective
Peter Kennedy and Graham Brown, two coal miners from the Hunter Valley, talk at a lunch time Forum organised by the Sydney Uni Enviro Collective. They share their views and knowledge on the coal industry, the big companies behind the mines, where the unions are on the issue, climate camp and the future of coal. (40 mins)
