Gold - the true cost of a global obsession

The article is from Nation geography and written by Brook Larmer.
This article deals with many people who want gold and the bad influence of mining and consequences on environment. Many poeple want to get gold. But supply isn't enough for the demand. And the price of gold has been skyrocketing. So, miners dig up gold even though work is too hard and dangerous. They look forward to striking it rich and making a fortune. However mining has a bad influence on the environment. Many toxic wastes appear and they destroy the environment.

  1. Bo Kyung, unfortunately this is so true. It is important to find out the source of the things we use and shop responsibly so that we do not support this madness.
