I agree with Madeline, we will run out of this stuff, and when we do we will have no idea what to do. Why don’t we start with a little progress now and soon have enough materials to make stuff like cars and phones.

We should find a middle where you can be more eco friendly but get resources without polluting the land.

# data[].attributes.body
If you don’t want to mine the copper under the boundary waters because we won’t have as many tourists then you should consider the fact that we need cooper to make cars and without cars tourists wouldn’t be able to drive to the waters.

Though I do believe pollution is bad, almost the only point Anti-Mining has brought up is that pollution is bad. Anything else?

# data[].attributes.body
Even though there are risks to the environment with mining, like pollution, there are always ways that we can improve the pollution and prevent it from happening and if it does happen there are always other ways that we can stop it or decrease it.

To have the technology needed to have renewable sources (turbines, solar panels, etc) they require minerals to be built and used. Mining has been a base requirement for many different tools, objects, vehicles, etc for many years. As technology advances, we need minerals to support our advancements in technology.

I i conclusion I think I’m still pro mining

# data[].attributes.body
We should  stop the pollution  beacause most habitats are getting ruined as we speak

I agree with Hannah because minding gives people opportunities to get a job.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Emma cause there is a lot of pollution in the water and we need to control that more.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Hannah when she said that even though what we are mining is non-renewable, we should still mine it and not just leave it be because we know it’s going to run out at some point. With this topic, I think that we should keep on mining even though we now it’s going to run out we should be thankful with the minerals that we have and the ability to even be able to mine and have something to mine because can you imagine not having anything that we mine? We use minerals so much in everyday life.

Mining creates jobs and lots of them. People struggling with providing for basic needs could work in the mines and they could make some decent money.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Madeline, she was talking about how mining cost money cause our taxes to go up, which causes poverty. Yes if we don’t mine we will see a lot more poverty but also when we mine it costs a lot of money, which as Madeline said has our taxes go up causing poverty also.

i agree with emma with the health risks of mining

# data[].attributes.body
We should use more eco friendly things for mining like renewable sources.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes we need to find a alternative but solar and other different alternatives for mining  still aren’t providing enough energy and electricity for everybody to use.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Madeline because we will eventually run out of resources, but we should try to make them last as long as we can.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Will, “ if it’s not grown it’s mined” we only grow a very small percent of our everyday needs. We can’t just have one side, we can’t just stop mining but we cant be reckless when we mine, we need a solution.

# data[].attributes.body
I also agree with Kenna about the health risks

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Kenna , the anti mining side. Mining can cause health risks, because of its pollution that it makes by mining

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with the anti side because the tourists and attractions will go down. But on the other hand,  I also agree with the pro side because without mining, we most likely wouldn’t have enough resources. Overall, I think we should keep mining, but in other places besides the boundary waters.

Nick W-  Also if we mine the copper and nickel under the boundary waters then we can create an estimated 27,000 more jobs in Minnesota.

Aidan.b: I agree with what Madeline  said about polluting a place people love to visit but without stuff that comes from mines we wouldn’t be able to really see unless you bike to the trees

# data[].attributes.body
talk about alternatives other than mining

# data[].attributes.body
To elaborate on what will said, polymet has a plan to efficiently mine without affecting the groundwater

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Madeline because if the water gets polluted by mining, the tourists rates will go down.
