One of the “best practices” that has developed recently is the requirement for mining companies to “recover” the flora and fauna affected by the mine. Here, a portion of reforested ground that was a former coal mining site, near Cerrejón.

Solo Bitcoin mining does mean that you don’t have to share your profits with a huge group of other people. However, it also means that you don’t get to share the profits of the thousands of other miners, either. You only get paid out if you’re the miner who solves the hash.
Sand Mining---Sand mining activities, a tradition spanning many decades, in Tugumukti village, Cisarua, Bandung, West Java, Indonesia, 7 September 2011. The hills of Cisarua hold great potential as their sand is of very high quality, so much so that illegal mining activity is threatening the destruction of the ecosystems of the hills. Seeing as it is their only means of income, something must be done to prevent any further illegal poaching from occuring.

The World Museum of Mining was founded in 1963 when the close of Butte's mining heyday was less than two decades away. In the end Butte Montana experienced a century of hardrock mining and earned the reputation of being home to one of the world's most productive copper mines of all time. The Museum exists to preserve the enduring history of Butte and the legacy of its rich mining and cultural heritage.

I assume that this is a mining bee; about 10 of them were borrowing holes in the soil in our back garden. They look like bees and are quite unaggressive, even when you open the soil where they are digging.
GHH mining machine underground shovel, when they were introduced in the Monteponi mine, helped to make the work lighter and faster. He wouldn't mind seeing it displayed in a protected area and not exposed to the elements. A machine created to work indoors that ends its "career" outdoors. The most interesting part are the reinforcements made by hand welding along the entire profile of the blade of the shovel. Although not a certainly functional artistic work; this is proof of the mastery and skills that the staff had acquired in working in a mine like this.
Pala da sottosuolo GHH mining machine, quando vennero introdotte nella miniera di Monteponi aiutarono a rendere il lavoro più leggero e veloce. Non sabbe male vederla esposta in una zona protetta e non esposta alle intemperie. Una macchina che nasce per lavorare al chiuso che finisce al sua "carriera" all'aria aperta. La parte più interessante sono i rinforzi realizzati con saldatura a mano lungo tutto il profilo della lama della pala. Seppure non un lavoro artistico sicuramente funzionale; questo a riprova della maestria e delle competenze che il personale aveva acquisito nel lavorare in una miniera come questa.
Using the pickaxe to "mine" a block. One side of each box was just paper (no cardboard behind it) so they could break through easily.
To control the chaos, we gave out cards (we had 5 total), and told the kids to look for a block that matches the card. When they found it, they would bring the card back to get a new card. It made sure there were only a few kids mining at once. Luckily, we had a good group of kids that followed along.
