What special day was held in April honoring our natural resources? If you said Earth Day, youre only partly right.
At the State Capitol in Tallahassee, April 22 was also Mining Day, highlighting the environmentally sound nature of Floridas mining industry and emphasizing that sustainable development is a goal shared by everyone.
Industry participants, including White Rock Quarries, showcased the variety of products we use everyday, from soft drinks to construction materials, that rely on Floridas mines.
Mining provides important benefits and is also temporary in nature. Once materials are mined, the land can be fully reclaimed, often in a more environmentally enriched state than its original condition.
