The "No Dirty Gold" campaign lists the "Golden Rules" for responsible mining: basic standards to insure gold is not produced at the expense of communities, the workers, and the environment The hard-rock mining industry is the single largest source of toxic releases in the US and this industry has caused enormous damage to rivers and fisheries around the world.

POPSA New History: Oppression, Political Power and Human Factor If in the Middle Ages power was the Catholic Church or the feudal princes, in the (I) Modern Era (1750-1950) and (II) Postmodern Era (1950-2001) it was money.
