When it comes to the PolyMet mine in MN, there are pros and cons for each side so either way the outcome won’t be perfect. My opinion is unsure and I don't favor a side. To support this issue Dr. Fairhurst, a professor at the U of M, stated, “Mining is very important. The main material in technology is copper. If PolyMet achieves their goal of 72 million pounds of copper in 20 years, our technology could keep advancing and make these types of projects improve. “There could be self driven mining trucks which improves safety for miners.” On the other side, the Boundary Waters are at risk of being polluted. This is very risky because if something goes wrong with the mine, the water may flow up to the site and pollute it. Paul Danicic, Executive
The ills that McMillan is satirizing are the most common PowerPoint mistakes. He focuses on the incorrect uses of various PowerPoint techniques. For example, he used satire to explain that using excessive bullet points can cause your key messages not to stand out. He also mentioned that putting every word you are going to say in a slide can result in losing your audience’s attention. Additionally, McMillian explained that using too many graphs just to impress your audience is not necessary.
My opponents 1st/2nd/3rd contention was that drilling in Alaska will cost billions. True, drilling in Alaska will cost billions but the positive impact on the U.S. economy far outweighs the cost. Also, the billions of dollars it will cost to drill in the ANWR will be mostly paid by companies who want to develop into the ANWR, not the U.

Copper mining has had a huge impact on Michigan throughout history. Copper mining has had such an impact that the Upper Peninsula of Michigan has a region referred to as “The Copper Country” because of its involvement in the copper-mining industry. The copper-mining industry has also led to technological developments necessary for hoisting and drilling as well as the development of towns and cities in the Keweenaw. In addition, it led to the creation of many potential jobs for residents of the towns that were developed to support these mines.
In MOD’s excel workbook I have used many macros to create shortcuts to different sheets and also macros to perform various tasks. Overall using macros will speed up how fast the end user can use and navigate the sheet and also make it easier to use. I have also used auto-sum, this automatically entered in a certain formula that I had chosen. By using auto-sum I saved time by not having to enter in long formulas. I have also used an automated filter tool, this tool filters out any data that the user decides is unneeded, which will help the user as it does not show data that useless to them or is unneeded.
...plete report. Before this was done the mine blew up. In the end, the news story that broke was focused on union campaign contributions and not on mine safety.
...ion that the proposal to drain Lake Powell is not a very good one " First off two Club members in page, AZ quit the club over the Lake Powell proposal" (www.glencanyon.net/club). The writer thinks that the board is wrong to propose such an idea "Lake Powell violated the club's policy that major decisions should start at the ground and work their way up" (www.glencanyon.net/club).
The opposition to this project is increasing because the people living in those areas are already feeling negative consequences. The large communities living in Boreal Forest and other Natives lands are being affected by the extraction and process of tar sands. Not only this people are being rushed away from their lands, but also, the rate of cancer, renal failure, lupus, hyperthyroidism and other decease, are higher than ever. This health conditions increased because of the air pollution and the high quantities of metals and chemicals in the drinking water. Yet, lots of precautions are being taken by the company, oil spills keep happening over and over. The external metal corrosion caused by extreme temperatures and the corrosive acid components of the bitumen are factors that contribute to accidents like explosions and oil
This paper explores the fight between draining Lake Powell and keeping it as is. It discusses the gains and the losses due to environmental, economical, and political issues. The bibliography uses sources from public interest publications, environmental organizations newsletters, and government publications to give many sides of the argument and many issues dealing with the subject matter.

The protesters want the pipeline to stop production, because it would run through their land and burial sites and can possibly affect their water source that were included in their treaty. Treaty of Fort Laramie (1868) was the promise if undisturbed land in the Black Hills. Do we honor a treaty that’s already been broken for our thirst for gold? Do we respect their want to keep the environment clean with so many pipelines in the US already? There are miles upon miles of pipelines all over America. Why should they be any different? Maybe it is a step that should be taken to protect what we hold dear, whether it’s our beliefs, land, education, or
Sri Lanka?s gem industry is with a very lengthy and colorful history. Sri Lanka, the pearl of the Indian Ocean, ?Gemmed Island? and ?Rathna Dveepaya?; has been well-known to the world for centuries as a land popular for Gemstones. Gem industry is one of the oldest economic sectors in the country which comes from nearly 3000 years back.((?Gem trade in Sri Lanka _ Explore Sri Lanka Gem Market,? n.d.) It means that the story of Sri Lanka?s gems is as old as civilization itself.?Most of the time, Gems are highly related with the traditional beliefs, myths and the religious life of the majority of?Sri Lankans.?
The theory of economics does not furnish a body of settled conclusions immediately applicable to policy. It is a method rather than a doctrine, an apparatus of the mind, a technique for thinking, which helps the possessor to draw correct conclusions. The ideas of economists and politicians, both when they are right and when they are wrong, are more powerful than is commonly understood. Indeed the world is ruled by little else. Practical men, who believe themselves to be quite exempt from any intellectual influences, are usually the slaves of some defunct economist." (John Maynard Keynes, the General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money p 383)

...sues with environmental concerns with mining and smelting, the economic issue is one of them that tops the list. Something needs to be done to drive the cost of environmental control equipment down. Should this be how the equipment is manufactured differently, made more efficiently, or created with lower cost material.
