Copper Bowl Water Feature

On Saturday I installed a 24" x 8" copper bowl water feature at St. Barnabas Episcopal Church in Greensboro. It is a memorial that will be used as a baptismal bowl for outdoor ceremonies. I am glad it is finished but am even happier that I was involved in such a meaningful project.

RecycleBill

Good Morning!

I finally got a chance to read this really nice article by Billy Jones aka "Recyclebill" about Copper Chameleon and the nasty side of precious metal mining. So I thought I would share!

http://recyclebills.squarespace.com/recycleblog/hunting-the-elusive-copper-chameleon.html

If you would like to find out more about what makes mining so bad for the environment and society follow the link below.

"Most consumers don't know where the gold in their products comes from,
or how it is mined. Gold mining is a dirty industry: it can displace
communities, contaminate drinking water, hurt workers, and destroy
pristine environments.

This website provides an overview of the major social, environmental,
and economic impacts of gold mining. For more information, please read
our report, Dirty Metals: Mining, Communities, and the Environment
and the latest gold mining fact sheet, and join us in the campaign to
end dirty gold mining practices."
