Right Pat, what do you want to explain us with this article?7 June 2010 13:32
The essential materials to make computers are extracted from the earth by mining and wrapped in plastic cases manufactured from oil. Anyone who is genuinely opposed to mining should NOT be using the internet. The internet would NOT exist without mining.
Anyone who is genuinely opposed to mining should NOT write to newspapers, magazines, television broadcasters, radio broadcasters, or politicians. ALL paper and pens are manufactured by machinery or tools derived from mining and ALL electrical & electronic equipment is produced using mined materials. ALL newspapers, magazines and books use mined materials to manufacture them.
Whether it is generated from combustion, wind, wave, geothermal or solar, ALL electrical energy is generated and transmitted using vast amounts of mined materials.
Batteries are produced using mined materials.
Solar cells are produced using mined materials.
Wind generators are produced using mined materials.
Hydro-electric dams are produced using mined materials.
Whether wooden framed, brick, steel reinforced concrete, composite, ALL houses are built using mined materials.
Cars, buses, aeroplanes, trains, ships, boats, bicycles, scooters, roller skates, skis, horse drawn carts etc are produced using mined materials.
ALL clothes are manufactured using tools or machinery made from mined materials.
ALL farmed food is produced using agricultural vehicles manufactured from mined materials.
Money is produced using machinery which has been mined.
Anyone who is genuinely opposed to mining should immediately give away all their possessions, including money and clothing. They should also refrain from eating any food produced by agricultural machinery, including animal products which have been produced using feed delivered by vehicles manufactured from mined materials.
It must be a tough life being a genuine NIMBY who is determined to treat other people's back yard in the same manner they wish their back yard to be treated.
What do they eat? How do they survive the cold, wet winters?
Would you really be happy if all mining was banned?
