mining

If not appropriately controlled and perfectly organized, mining exploration, certainly, becomes one of the most devastating industries to our environment. Mining is truly capable to harm ecosystem and cause land degradation as well as air, water and land pollution. Furthermore, it also has bad effects to human health and causes to many social, economic and political troubles.

On the other hand, the mining operation is foremost in our economy. The mining operation definitely increase new employment, people's revenue that causes to the growth of the requirement for goods and services and tax incomes for states. In simple terms, the mining activities will cause the economic expansion and decline the shortage.

Consequently, it is challenge to obtain ways and methods to lower the bad impacts derived from the mining process. The following are several ways how to at least lessen the natural environment destruction caused by mining operation:

1. The mining company should run good and deep research before mining industry. The research is to discover and decrease the terrible effect of this operation on ecosystem as well as how to efficiently use the mineral resources.

2. Minimizing the mineral consumption. People should lower the consumer goods using mineral products. For example: we are able to use public transit instead of personal cars to decrease the oil use.

3. Making substitution with more friendly materials. For example: to make appliances, we replace metal with plastic.

4. Recycling used equipment to lower new resources mined. It takes far a lesser amount of energy to reprocess not needed materials (like tin cans) than to extract, process, and refine metals from ore. For example, to produce aluminum, we spends 95% less energy when using second-hand resources rather than from bauxite ore.

5. Increasing environmental performance. By systematically investigating the effects of mining on environment, it is still possible to reduce the unpleasant effects of mining.

6. Creating policy and mining guide to enhance environmental performance that have to be obeyed by the mining companies and some penalties who are failed to obey. At this juncture, the authority plays significant roles to monitor the mining process.

7. Taking new and innovative machinery to carry out the top mining activities and practices in order to reduce the environmental pollution to our natural environment.

In conclusion, we comprehend that mining operation really creates bad effects on our environments if inappropriately managed. What we can do is how to decrease the adverse ecological effects of mineral exploration on environment. With the points described above, we hope that the mining company pay attention and be accountable of the balanced environment.
