Mountains are one of the God's gift to us. Plants, trees, birds and other wild life were inhabited. It shows how wonderful God's creation is. God doesn't create without purpose. This creation is for the benefit of our ecosystem and for the human being also. They are always an essential for the health of our planet. They are natural reservoirs, as well as bio-diversity hot spots. Mountains are very sensitive they depend on human intervention to safeguard there well-being. As a human we must preserve and took care all of them for the betterment of our planet Earth. On the other side, Mining is where the extracting of minerals and a process of returning a mountain to its natural state with a distinct steps. According to the definition above, no doubt it creates odd things to our planet. It can destroy our natural resources and of course it has a following consequence.
I have a friend that is residing on a province that is near to a mountain, the mountain is almost at the back of their house, we stayed their for a couple of days. I observed that there are huge trucks and several cars passing through their place. Those trucks and cars are owned by an employer of the mining industry in their province. I wondered why those cars are in mountains. The company build huge roadways for their trucks and even established some signals and posted some quotes. The funny thing is those quotes are related to environment. HAHAHA
They constitute several projects for the province, they introduce what are the benefits of mining industry. We all knew mining can destroy mountains, not just mountains but also the ecosystem. Mining cultivate minerals and destroy mountains. Most of the residence here are indigenous people some are illiterate. My friend told me that the company bought some of the lands of those indigenous people for the benefit of their industry. As the industry starts extracting minerals out of the mountain there are some several earthquakes and the river that is clean are now turning into a brownish colored water. How could people stand what this people doing. I know there are advantages of mining also in the community it creates employment for the unemployed one. The problem is what are you going to pay back to the environment that you used to destroy. Plant trees? Your not just destroyed those trees but the earth also it was create to be a mountain. It shows how human being greedy of money. From the disasters that the planet experience as today I think those are the payment of what human does to our environment. No to mining! Help build a good relationship to our environment and experience the goodness of our mother earth!

Nice article. Let us think about this problem. Protecting environment is very important for us and our posterities. But if all the mines are vanished, is there any alternatives? We don't know anything about alchemism. Where can we find more iron, gold, coals, and other minerals without mine? That's not only problem of employment of miners and owners. I think you need to criticize whole modernity all over the world.
ReplyDeleteThere are always alternatives for that if people think about the consequence of what there doing. Mining for me is not important i don't care about those minerals I know it can help creates MONEY hahaha.. but have you thought about those miners have always good intentions?
ReplyDeleteI don't believe miners are angels or saints. But they make useful minerals and those are the materials of our stuffs-energy, cars, buildings, even your cell phones and computers! (they contains rare earth resources) We can't quit all the mines. But we can develop more efficient ways to get more without destroying mountains and make environment tax imposed to mine companies. These will help protect environment in other ways.
ReplyDeletethat's what the problem, those are human stuff and then environment were get abused. if humans are contented of what they have there will be no problem, of course they should have tax but some of those mining industries violate the rules FYI.
