520			_aMined materials support roughly 45% of the world's economic activities-yet large-scale mining leaves social and environmental scars. Mining conjures up an ugly environmental image. Companies dig deep into the earth and use large amounts of energy and water to extract, process and transport minerals, leaving behind a devastating impact. That image has come to define the mining industry, and it's increasingly hurting its ability to make money. On a global scale, mining corporations around the world are discovering efficient ways to capitalize fully on materials in order to provide the goods and services people want using much less wood, metal, stone, plastic and other materials. Sustainable practices within the mining sector are assuming greater significance due to uncertainty and change within the global economy and safety, security, and health concerns. This book will be of prime interest in countries that are concern with mining environmentalism. It should benefit students and working mining engineers and environmentalists, manufacturers, legislators, regulators, financiers and journalists.
