Mitigating Environmental Impacts from Exploitation, extraction and use of Mineral Resources

“For every action there is an equal and opposite re-action.”
-Isaac Newton

We live from nothing into something until we swallowed from our own curiosity to discover the core of living; needs and wants, that’s all we desire, hope, and wish for. People ingest in their black mind and blind eyes with the power of their crown to find the most expensive treasure on earth.

Mineral Resources keeps on finding to extract the tower of diamond which constantly aglow and scintillating and  that’s why people gets blind and can’t see the true beauty and aesthetics of the environment.

For us humans, how are we going to help or what we should we do to mitigate the abusive actions or too much exploitation and extraction of mineral resources especially in mining?

The key to success is always start by our own heart, comes in our mind and follow by our own hand.

There are many things to do, many actions to work for and many solutions to solve the issue but we must know how to appreciate and implement them, through our actions, portraying by our living and showing and spreading the knowledge by others. Simple actions can save a simple life.

The 3R’s Reduce, Reuse and Recycle, it is the most common thing which all people can do; a bottled can, sardines can or tin cans, and other steels or aluminum if they are efficient in recycling we can reduce the minerals to mine for another raw materials to use and if we can also build a plastic materials instead of mineral materials we can also reduce other minerals to mine.

We can use an alternative energy to extract a mineral instead of non-renewable energy like uranium which is also a mineral, we can use a biomass as a source of energy or other renewable energy in extracting minerals, and through that manner we can mitigate our environment in discrimination.

Implementing a law which can have an idea that mining company can only mine by the certain area given, no more and no less, for our environment will not experience an abusive mining and in addition, it can have a shifting of tax or a higher tax for all mining company which can help the economy to recover and to use it for other economic purposes. When a mining site are already abandoned a certain region can establish an environmental organization such as tree planting and etc. and that is where the other tax collected will go, by restoring and producing other environmental needs.

Those are only few solutions which can help to mitigate the environmental impacts from discrimination and extraction of our mineral resources, there are still many ways on how to reduce it.

Our actions will always mark in the environment, there are always an equal and an opposite reactions by our own actions, and it may become bad or good because of our thirst in treasures. Yes we still need a bags of golds and diamonds to live but don’t abuse what we have for today because at the end of the day we are the one who will suffer through our own actions, we maybe a billionaire for today but we can’t escape the fact that it’s not impossible that we can become a beggar for tomorrow.

Live protecting the environment and environment will live protecting you and others life.
