MINING FOR GOLD?


URBAN MINING. And why not? Just one of the by-products is a much IMPROVED, cleaner environment. And if we enlist the elderly, the unemployed, those on welfare… who knows how much more good can come of it!!


Japan is a prime example… in fact their rapidly aging population is leading the way in one town to create a zero-waste community, recycling everything, including valuable gold from old phones. In this town there is no trash collection and no landfill, just people sorting their own trash into 34 categories.

This is definitely something to think about.
