Option C.

Since chemicals are used in the mining of zinc, a rise in mining activity would lead to more chemicals being used, which would impact the soil and water around the mines.

Your town is having a meeting about whether or not to allow residents to build solar panels on their houses. Many people are aga
julsineya [31]
Putting solar panels on houses is a great idea, for it provides a renewable source of energy and heat, which is the sun. It will help prevent pollution and the mass-use of non-renewable resources, such as fossil fuels, which are used and burned for energy.

Although, having solar panels, there will be some downsides. For example, solar panels can only receive energy during time where there is light from the sun, which is daylight. therefore, the solar panels will not and cannot be able to collect energy from the sun during night time. although, depending on the solar panels, some can store energy, from the sun, that can be used at night time, like as if you're charging a battery with energy from the sun for later use. one big problem is that, solar panels are not cheap and rather quite expensive, which not all homes and families can afford. although, through time, solar panels will get cheaper.

but, all in all, I believe that solar panels give a great contribution to Earth, thus I agree to the use of solar panels.
