Question

Which are the best solutions for reducing the mine production of copper and conserving copper ore? Select the two correct answers.

a. Recycle electronic waste.***
b. Make electrical appliances without wires.
c. Stop buying electrical appliances.**
d. Use aluminum as a substitute.
e. Use glass as a substitute.

Are my answers correct? (A and C)

Answer 1

I go along with A but I'm skeptical of C. Technically that is correct (it reduces the use of Cu) BUT you can't do the things one does with Cu. Wouldn't D allow us to continue appliances with electrical wiring made of Al and save on Cu. Doing this allows us to continue life as we know it BUT cut down on the use of Cu metal which saves on the ores.
