CLASS 7I PRIMARY INDUSTRIES
Class 7I have been looking at primary industries. We started by thinking about the advantages and disadvantages of mining. We thought about how we would feel if a mine was to be opened in our local area (called Shard End), and then we thought of the reasons why people might not agree with us.
These are our ideas :-
Should a Mine be opened in Shard End ?
Yes I think the mine should be opened because we need coal to produce electricity, and the mining industry provides jobs. After mining the land can be improved and new services can be built.
Some people might not agree with me because there are other sources of energy such as nuclear power and and because coal mining produces coal and can look ugly.

| No! I don't think the mine
should open because mining areas suffer from noise
pollution, mines can cause air pollution, and ugly mining
buildings spoil the scenery. Coal mining produces coal
tips which are ugly and sometimes unsafe. There are other sources of energy such as nuclear power, and if we mine all the coal in the earth it will be used up forever. By TONI GUEST |

| I think the mine should be
opened and that its a very good idea so then we can get
coal to make metal for lots of things that we use in the
home or in any buildings or street. Every home has
electricity. There will be jobs for people to mine the
land to get coal, Nuclear power might not be safe. By Joanne Lawrence |
