Environmental issues with mining

resources can be reused this way. • Reduces Energy Consumption: A large amount of energy is consumed by processing raw materials at the time of manufacture. Recycling helps to minimize energy consumption, which is crucial for massive production, such as mining or refining. This also makes the production process very cost-effective for manufacturers. • Reduces Pollution: Industrial waste today is the main source of all types of pollution. Recycling of plastic helps to cut down pollution levels…

the natural and human grounds, the Great Barrier Reef Committee kept the Great Barrier as a protected Park Authority later in 1988 after continuous studies leading to a human catastrophe’s event from oil drilling in 1927 that killed many species.

into the atmosphere, so photovoltaics does not in fact take away from Earth’s total insolation. Furthermore, photovoltaics can be employed with minimal disruption to habitats.

Fracking, also known as hydraulic fracturing, is a type of drilling that uses water, sand and chemicals, shot at high pressure, to release energy resources trapped inside rocks. This recently new technology for drilling allows areas that were previously inaccessible for drilling, like very concentrated rocky areas, to now be opened up through fracking to obtain natural gases and oil. The water solution used with this drilling technique produces almost the same amount of “sludge” as an after…

raised by the book was the problems on data mining.
