Time for a Picture! from Dr Stephanie Lewis


We use alot of copper but should we support copper mining regardless of the societal and environmental impact it might have on the area where the mining occurs?
This is a picture of the cloud forest in Ecuador.
There is copper under the ground here. the local people don't want mining. Should it be allowed?
Canadian companies mine for copper in Ecuador. What advice could we give them to help them make decisions?

They are Ecuador and we are Canada. If they don't want us there, why should we be there? What ever happened to pennies containing copper, we can seperate the copper from the other materials and reuse them?
