Mines

Mines from the old days leave a big mess.  When the rock is exposed it becomes very acidy.  That is why years later, nothing can grow on the mine tailings.


But the mess from old time mines can't compare with the mess modern mines leave.

    Interesting . . . we need things produced from mines, yet the impact on the environment is harsh.
