Letter: Oppose Maine mine, but rare minerals are still needed

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • November 7, 2023

Wolfden Resources’ mining proposal, reported in this paper, should be rejected. However, it raises global issues of human health, environmental degradation, quality of life and cultural and environmental practices of Indigenous people. Companies will go to the least restrictive places to mine. These places are likely to be low income and marginalized. An inclusive and transparent global conversation should begin now. ~ Jo Myers, Waldoboro
