Sustainable mining is key to a healthy economy
Monday, February 13, 2012
Sustainable mining is a subject that lends itself well to group polarization. Group polarization occurs when group decisions tend to become more extreme than the initial inclination of its members. This typically occurs during and after discussions with like-minded individuals.
When it comes to the mining industry, the two opposing groups usually consist of the mining companies and their supporters on one side—and environmentalists and their supporters on the other side.
Typically, the environmental position is that mining is not sustainable because:
- it blights the landscape
- produces toxic waste
- most mines are short lived
- profits are not shared equitably
On the other side, mining companies tout the considerable advances that have been made and continue to be made in sustainable mining and exploration since the advent of the industrial revolution, including:
- constant and ongoing improvements in health and safety
- improved efficiency in resource management
- continuous learning and improvement in mining operation
- advances in toxic waste management
