Answer:
Explanation:
Do not waste mineral resources
Recycle & reuse 60-80% of mineral resources
Include the harmful environmental costs of mining and processing minerals in the prices of items.
Reduce mining subsidies
Increase subsidies for recycling, reusing, and finding substitutes
Redesign manufacturing processes to use less mineral resources and to produce less pollution and waste.
Use mineral resource wastes of one manufacturing process as raw materials for other processes
Slow population growth
We can use minerals more sustainably by recycling or reusing them.
Ex: Recycling aluminum beverage cans and scrap aluminum produces 95% less air pollution, 97% less water pollution, and 95 % less energy than mining and processing aluminum ore.
Reusing metals rather than melting and reprocessing them has the least environmental impact.
