Miners have been digging copper, silver, and gold out of Bingham Canyon, just outside Salt Lake City, since 1906. These days huge trucks that cost up to $3 million each work around the clock, hauling about 450,000 tons of dirt out of the earth each day. More than 99% is waste. But by expending vast amounts of energy - the mine operates its own coal-fired power plant - Kennecott is able to extract an average of about 795 tons of copper, 12,000 troy ounces of silver, and 1,400 ounces of gold a day.Wed, 10 Sep 2008 12:50:00 EDThttp://money.cnn.com/2008/08/05/technology/dell_neutral.fortune/index.htmhttp://money.cnn.com/2008/08/05/technology/dell_neutral.fortune/index.htmDell is announcing Wednesday that it has become carbon neutral by turning out the lights in its offices, buying wind power and protecting endangered forests in Madagascar.Wed, 06 Aug 2008 13:00:00 EDThttp://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1829722,00.html?xid=feed-cnn-topicshttp://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1829722,00.html?xid=feed-cnn-topicsConservationists find 125,000 undiscovered western lowland gorillas in Africa, suggesting the species is safeTue, 05 Aug 2008 22:25:00 EDThttp://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/asiapcf/08/05/primates.extinct/index.html#cnnSTCTexthttp://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/asiapcf/08/05/primates.extinct/index.html#cnnSTCTextAlmost 50 percent of the world's primates are in danger of extinction, according to a report from an international conservation group that cites habitat destruction and hunting as the two greatest threats.Tue, 05 Aug 2008 15:30:00 EDThttp://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/asiapcf/07/31/eco.turtles/index.html#cnnSTCTexthttp://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/asiapcf/07/31/eco.turtles/index.html#cnnSTCTextFor this week's Eco Solutions show, the CNN team traveled up the Mekong River to discover how conservations groups have found innovative ways to protect the cantor soft shell turtle.
