There are also companies that are misjudged like the government. This is a mining company called BHB Billiton and they are giving back to the environment. They understand the consequences of mining and take care of the environment too. Imagine life without ores or metals because I know that I can't. Society is based around technology and relies on it. without metals, how would you make things that people take for granted like phones. Technology would be gone and yet people still criticize mining companies.
