A Resolution to Reduce Strip Mining 

WHEREAS, strap mining does more damage to the environment than strip mining; and

WHEREAS, mining is very vital to many industries in today's society; and

WHEREAS, strip mining can cause damage and destroy land forms; and

WHEREAS, restoration of every damaged land form would be deplete our economy; and

WHEREAS,  damage or destruction done to land forms by strip mining can be repaired; and

WHEREAS, mining can cause disruptions around citizens; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, by the Congress here assembled that we implement less mining and mine only when resources are low

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that industrial companies must follow a limit on strip mining or pay a fine of $5000

I believe that strip mining should be restricted more because of the damage it does to the environment. However, I highly suggest strip mining over strap mining because strip mining does less damage. Even though strip mining do cause damage and destroy land forms, the damage done can be repaired. Unlike strap mining, damage done is permanent. I understand how mining is very important for many industries today. However, I would like to emphasize our earth should not be taken for granted. Therefore, we should reduce strap mining and stick to strip mining instead. Despite my encouragement towards strip mining, I hope that there is not going to be twice as much mining as before just because we can repair the damage. I mean if we were to repair the damages done, then that would cost far more money to repair the damages than extract resources. In addition, mining is not welcome around citizens. I highly doubt that they like getting their houses mined just because there are valuable resources underneath it. Thus, I highly suggest that we implement less mining and only mine when resources are low. Also, we should respect our citizens' rights and disturb them as little as possible with our mining issues.

Soil erosion is just important as global warming and emerging diseases because these all affect the Earth and its inhabitants. Soil erosion may damage the Earth's land and land forms causing deformations of land forms. In addition, soil erosion can highly affect the job of farmers. The soil used by farmers may be ruined and so there will less food produced, Thus, leading to the depletion of Earth's resources. Therefore, soil erosion is just as harmful as global warming and emerging diseases and may possibly be even more fatal.
