What we can do: We could install more wastewater plants: the treatment of wet wastes from

manufacturing industry and commerce including mining, quarrying and heavy industries. Industrial wastewater treatment covers the mechanisms and processes used to
treat waters that have been contaminated in some way by anthropogenic industrial or commercial activities prior to its release into the environment or its re-use. Install Water- pumps in villages affected for the populations to access to clean water Invest money every year to grow trees Could construct more hydroelectric power facility whenever possible which is the most widely used form of renewable energy. Tidal Power: makes use of the daily rise and fall of ocean water due to tides; Underground Power Station: Makes use of a large natural height difference between two waterways, such as a waterfall or mountain lake. An underground tunnel is constructed to take water from the high reservoir to the generating hall built in an underground cavern near the lowest point of the water tunnel and a horizontal tailrace taking water away to the lower outlet waterway. -Advantage: Reduce CO2 emissions: Since hydroelectric dams do not burn fossil fuels, they do not directly produce carbon dioxide. While some carbon dioxide is produced during manufacture and construction of the project, this is a tiny fraction of the operating emissions of equivalent fossil-fuel electricity generation. One measurement of greenhouse gas related and other externality comparison between energy sources can be found in the ExternE project funded by the European Commission.[16] According to that study, hydroelectricity produces the least amount of greenhouse gases and externality of any energy source. Very suitable for our types of industry: The cost of hydroelectricity is relatively low, making it a competitive source of renewable electricity Once a hydroelectric complex is constructed, the project produces no direct waste, and has a considerably lower output level of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide use of electricity can be reduced at anytime Disadvantage: we need to relocate people and it will be destroying the wildlife

An efficient answer Practical ways in which BHPs climate change strategy will change things: 1. The company will work to lessen its emissions by increasing the efficiency of its mining processes. BHP Billitons operating areas are primarily low population density 2. BHP is investing and participating in a large number of new technology projects, and intends to have greenhouse gas management and energy conservation programmes at all of its sites with annual emissions greater than 100,000 tonnes CO2 equivalent. 3. We plan to spend US$300 million over five years on low emission technology and energy efficiency (but it represents just a small fraction of BHPs latest net profit of US$10.5 billion in a single year). 5.We want to use of liquid natural gas as a replacement for oil. BHP produced 60 million barrels of oil equivalent last year, a little more than their petroleum production. 4. We also have mineral products that can be used to reduce emissions in other industries such as

Iron ores which are rocks and minerals from which metallic iron can be economically extracted.

5. Creation of Injection Wells: vertical pipe in the ground into which water, other liquids, or gases are pumped or allowed to flow. One application is waste water disposal, in which treated waste water is injected into the ground between impermeable layers of rocks to avoid polluting fresh water supplies or adversely affecting quality of receiving waters. Injection wells are usually constructed of solid walled pipe to a deep elevation in order to prevent injectate from mixing with the surrounding environment.[1] Injection wells are widely considered to be the best method for disposal of treated waste water.[citation needed] Unlike outfalls or other direct disposal techniques, injection wells utilize the earth as a filter to further clean the treated wastewater before it reaches the receiving water. This method of waste water disposal also serves to spread the injectate over a wide area, further decreasing environmental impacts. Critics of waste water injection wells cite concerns relating to the injectate polluting receiving waters. Most environmental engineering professionals, however, consider waste water treatment followed by disposal through injection wells to be the most cost effective and environmentally responsible method of waste water treatment
CAREFUL: It has been said the Injection wells causes of seismic activity but reviews by scientists at regulatory agencies have been inconclusive as earthquake that happened near our sites were recorded decades prior to start our industry activity. Therefore our company will continue to dispose of the water only in approved wells and facilities.

The promotion of low carbon alternatives, which mining can contribute to, is an argument central to BHPs climate strategy.
