Prentice kills Taseko's Prosperity mine
Prentice kills Taseko's Prosperity mine Last Updated: November 2, 2010 7:04pm OTTAWA – The federal government has killed a plan for an open-pit mine in Fish Lake, B.C.
“The project as it was proposed would result in the destruction of Fish Lake and the destruction as well of a complex and highly productive ecosystem that included ... dozens of connecting streams, wetlands and aquatic life,” Environment Minister Jim Prentice said Tuesday. “There was a significant risk that this habitat could not be successfully reproduced through manmade substitutes.”

Primal Culture vs Modern Culture and Their Relationships With NatureWhat are the philosophies, ideologies and practices that inform primal culture versus modern culture? Is it possible that primal culture could have or may become the dominant culture? If primal culture were to become dominant, what would our world look like? What are the fundamental diffences between primal and modern culture? The fundamental differences are in their views concerning spirituality versus religion, their relationship surrounding land and the environment, their economic activities, the use of tools, work, "industrialism", technology and "science".
