Totally agree, fren, and very well put!
I am an environmentalist at heart -- save for the CO2 emphasis, since CO2 is not pollution at all -- and I am a humanist. It's possible to be both.
And the mining industry needs to do better at policing itself and calling out bad miners like the one you described. Bad actors like that just bring heat down on the whole sector, when in fact many mining companies are doing quite a good job with environmental stewardship.
I will make it a point to call out bad environmental practices that I see or hear about for exactly that reason: keeping heat off the industry and maintaining the good name of the responsible actors, who deserve so much credit for making our way of life possible.
