Mike Graham argued with Insulation UK spokesperson in the air-and claimed that concrete is more sustainable than wood.
The TalkRadio host is currently reporting for host Julia Hartley-Brewer. He was confused when he was interviewed by insulation activist Cameron Ford. In the interview, he asked environmentalists how "safe" his work is for the planet.
Carpenter Ford explained that he worked for sustainable construction practices and told Graham: "Wood is renewable, you can plant trees. You can't plant concrete."
But Graham will not be defeated. He replied: "Yes, you can."
There was a shocked silence, and then Graham quickly ended the one-minute interview and concluded: “That’s Cameron. He planted trees, cut trees, and then used them to make things. I don’t think I want to be with these people. Any conversation."

Fact-checkers Full Fact quickly stepped in to inform the public that, in fact, you cannot plant concrete on trees.
Needless to say, Twitter has some ideas.
Me, email the gardener’s question time: I have been watering the concrete for several weeks, but it just doesn’t sell well. Do you have any suggestions?
...I learned that you can "plant concrete"...It's really a plank https://t.co/U3mveHJP5W
This is a long pause at the 40th second, which makes it a classic in history https://t.co/tYmuURbSzS
In fact, he thinks he easily won the controversy after saying "you can plant concrete", and then the clip was released by the radio, which is really important https://t.co/Qu9Y39H1ik
This has one of the most desperate ascending ranges you will see, as well as when he doesn't get an incredible tantrum. Delicious. https://t.co/pQmED9F1i9

Our mission is to hold powerful people accountable. Allowing free media to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing, and abuse of power is essential. But we can't do it without you.
