Apaches Fight To Stop Copper Mine On What They Consider Sacred Land | TODAY

"Alright son, you need to get a new computer." "Dad, I don't need a new computer. This one is great. It has great battery life and great performance." "Well you don't have a choice. You are going to college, and I'm not sending off to college with an old computer." "I don't need a new computer." "Too bad." You see? This is the problem: people buy too much stuff, and it needs to stop.

I think they shouldn't mine the copper. If the world runs out of copper, then we will adapt. We'll learn to live without our luxury tech. Also, instead of mining for more copper, we should be recycling the copper we already have. Destroying sacred land for mining should never be done.

Forgot to mention they want to dam up a canyon and fill it with a giant tailing pile and water make a pond full of toxic waste.

[@mcawesomest1]

I would have too! The mines have damaged the underground water supply creating superfund sites.

Please don't do this. Green tech is never green

Leave their land alone or be cursed, if the Indians need help it is our duty and right to help them.

[@darthvader5300]

Somebody else owned the land before they came, it is the prehistoric people that crossed the Bering Straight Landbridge during the Ice Age. The Indians are late comers who came to try to make a claim over the claims of the descendants of this Siberian prehistoric people. Siberian Russian Asiatics as they were called once. The modern descendants now tend herds of reindeer in Russian .Siberia.

IT IS SHEER HYPOCRISY! If it is sacred land then WHY THEY ARE COMPLAINING NOW WHEN THEY COULD HAVE COMPLAINED IN 2008? After more than 14 years and billions of dollars invested then they are complaining? THEY JUST WANT A PIEACE OF THE $PIE WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING TO EARN IT!

Those oppose to copper mining, tell them this message. You do not want copper mining that produces copper? Then why are you using your computer which contains copper? The electricity transmitted by copper wires? Generators producing electricity are entirely made out of copper wire coils? Almost unbreakable silicon bronze wires to transmit telephone landlines that are still in use and the oldest of them are more than a century old and still in operation. Why use copper water pipes to prevent fouling? Copper condenser pipes for desalination and recycling steam into liquid water again? To those leftists and liberals and deranged progressives and SJWs and BLMs and other leftists activists groups oppose who will try to join the opposition just for the sake to inorder to grain publicity and political power.

They want the copper for the electric motors they need to make electric cars with, amongst other items of our so called modern world that consumerism has taught us, and that it's good for the environment. For what it's worth, we need to start preserving what we so often trough away, and take for granted.....
