Why You Should Care About Gold Mining
Gold mining is one of the world's dirtiest industries.
It wreaks havoc on local economies, causes illnesses, destroys streams, contaminates soil, and contributes to human rights abuses.
Despite the high price at which gold is sold -- gold jewelry typically sells for four times the value of the gold it contains -- the gold industry has yet to hold itself accountable for the damage done in creating its merchandise.
The time has come for change.
As a student and a consumer, you can hold the gold industry -- mining companies, retailers, and manufacturers -- accountable for the damage being caused by mining and demand an alternative to dirty gold.
