Environmental considerations related to mining of nonfuel

Global population growth, meanwhile, has decreased the percentage of inhabitable land available to support society's material needs. Presently, the land area available to supply the mineral resources, energy resources, water, food, shelter, and waste disposal needs of all Earth's inhabitants is estimated to be 135 square meters per person.

Mineral Resources, Environmental Issues, and Land Use

Contrary to predictions from the 1950s through the mid-1980s, persistent shortages of nonfuel minerals have not occurred, despite prodigious consumption, and world reserves have increased. Global availability of raw materials is relevant to policy decisions regarding mineral development and land use. Justification for environmental protection may exceed that for mining a specific ore body. Get price
