In this situation, I would try not to allow the exploitation of the mountain to occur, degrading nature and the property that her family has, because her brother may look for another job, but nature would not recover.

<h3>What are the impacts of coal mining?</h3>

The burning of coal for energy produces highly toxic effluents, such as mercury and other heavy metals such as vanadium, cadmium, arsenic and lead. In addition, the release of carbon dioxide causes pollution in the atmosphere, exacerbating global warming and contributing to acid rain.
