America's wilderness is for sale

It is so special and so unigue and it is still the same because Trump didn't do anything to those areas it is the media who are sponsering the democrats are lying to you. By the way your live is based on industry so look for better solutions. But do not act like you can do without heavy metals. It is in the very device you are watching this with.

In survival, we think of the three's: 3 minutes w/o Oxygen, 3 hours in extreme conditions (hot/cold), 3 days w/o water, and 3 weeks w/o food (more for some); and the body breaks down and can cause harm, and/or death. Your life, and your land, without water is worthless. Working 30 + years in the field of Emergency Response, Emergency Management, and in the Environmental Field has allowed me to see the "life span" of these types of operations come, exploit, and leave a dead zone + a useless zone. I have yet to see an industry like this not leave a foot print. Don't think in the now, act for the future.
PS
not sure i agree with this "i dipped my cup in the water from my canoe and drank it" ... the times of year you can do this w/o impact is minimal.

We're never going to "run out" of copper. We still have the same amount of copper now as we've always had.

What an epic intro

Not worth it. Save the forest

Only when the last plant has died, and the last fish has died will people learn you can't eat money

I'm not from the USA but love the environment this is sad

There was a post I saw that I don’t remember who said it but put this the best” I want to skip to the end of the movie about trump to the fade out credits- when we find out how much prison time they each got”. I swear if someone takes him out I will track down that person to give them a fruit basket- it would be poetic if the administrations lax gun policies are what wind up killing them. I can dream, but I get the feeling this is going to get much worse before it gets better, if it ever does get better

Thank you Roosevelt Ily ♥

Time for a biopic about Theodore Roosevelt with Nick Offerman, could save the forests

This is a new low.

Maybe copper is in the ground for another reason other than IS to destroy the earth and dig it up

So do we want one old dude to be able to fish alone on a massive lake or benefit in billions of dollars in mining. Lol the left

Send all the peeps to the mars let them build their city,bank and rich think and let go the earth for us

In Mongolia 🇲🇳 too

This man is pure Evil

This is tragic. I visited the Boundary waters for a canoeing trip and I can confirm that the water tastes like Dasani.

I think this is a very well made video. Does anyone know where I can find the sources for this video?

Without excessive mining, I wouldn't have been able to watch this video and subscribe to your channel.

Is there any way to make Trump leave the white house?

If they can afford to pay the locals $90000 to mine, they can afford to find a way to store that waste.
It makes me sick seeing all those people cheering at a decision that will waste this beautiful landscape. I sincerely hope they don't pollute the waterways, and when the copper has run out, they clean up properly. Probably not though, the profits will likely go to apathetic shareholders and none will be kept for decomissioning the mine.

one more year ... yeah ONE MORE YEAR!

Make a hole on the ground....make your profit and then let the taxpayers socialize the clean up of the mess. That's how these companies work.

And another state with awesome natural scenery falls down cause of government and people greediness.

Mining asteroids for precious resources is perfect, thanks Trump for the effort with space force

Looks like you need to add insurable values on natural resources such as Fish Tree and Game.
Adjust this value so you can afford a modest livelihood.

You know what is more toxic than arsenic??
Trump is 😠

When u look at old literature, armies settlers and nomads all drink 🍹 from rivers. U can’t find Evian or Poland 🇵🇱 springs. It’s juz polluted these days

Trump really has no regard for wildlife.

And yet you (vox) are able to make videos like this due to machines that need copper to function. So if we don't mine for copper here, it will be mined somewhere else. So how is the problem resolved? It's not, out of sight out of mind doesn't mean the Earth is less polluted because we didn't see the manufacturing process. And there is the solution, new way of extraction, and processing for copper. Dangerous heavy metals are in our waters, they have been there since we started mining. Examples are watch any gold panning videos.

Why don't they just start mining our Landfills for copper....

My grandfather used to be a tour guide in the boundary water, he always tells me about it and I swear if I don’t get to go one day because of copper....

So money does grow on trees?

The real owners never benefit anymore from the land

Eventually, we need to replace Earth mining with asteroid mining, but that isn’t going to be possible until it makes economic sense. I’m not saying it should be our first priority, but over the next say 200 years we need it to be more and more difficult to mine the Earth

Behold the end game of capitalism. Everything is for sale.

Drill baby drill

Not just the company makes profits but gov and all people makes profits and same goes for loss

Welp time to get rich and buy all those lands.

Where’s all the Trump supporters now?

Is almost like you cannot hear a bad new without hearing one of his political speeches related to it, you know who I'm talking about.

No one asked the wildlife😔,what if it was the other way around😑

If America actually took better care of its people, even the miners, Trump would had not been so successful at convincing rural America to vote for him.
Trump is not the cause, he is a symptom.

2020 let's all vote!!! Research Learn and Vote...🇺🇲✌🙏

They better not 💁‍♂️

It isnt worth it!

You can't drink money !!!!

the answer is no

3:21 I was waiting for this amazing town, me and my family have went to camp van vac near here for decades every summer. it is a great place and if it were destroyed for mining that would honestly break my heart

He drink water from River
Bacteria hold up

We are for sure living in satans, end of days beast system. When the last pieces of Gods untouched creation are trampled on, hopefully God gets to the wicked before they get to ruin the last pieces of eden on Earth

It’s not Trumps fault, it’s the workers in the community who take advantage of the $90k per year job opportunities and the guy you showed in the video working for the company. Stop blaming governments and systems. There would be no mining without individual efforts.

No it’s not.

We need copper for the eco climate changing friendly stuff... 🤔

We will never overcome in the name of development. Period

Europeans ruin Everything Everywhere Y’all Go

Then when they need it, they’ll take it back from you.

Mining should stop.

The problem stems from too much consumerism. Too much demand for technologies that are relatively marginal improvements over previous generations. In an ideal world there would be a limit to how many products like phones and computers can be produced for consumers.

shame on president Trump and America people to let him do it!
