Mining and extraction of precious metals is one of the most environementally destructive practices on earth. For every ton of gold produced, it generates three-million tons of chemical waste. According to "No Dirty Gold Campaign" (www.nodirtygold.org) a single gold mine in Papua New Guinea generates 2000,000 tons of toxic waste each day, more than all the cities in Japan, Canada and Australia combined.
